Joe

He's got the beats... or will give you the beatdown!

Joseph was born in Brooklyn, NY on December 28, 1960. At the age of 3, Joseph found the drums in the form of his mother's pots and pans. His mother, Carmela, who was a classical trumpet player and studied on scholarship at the prestigious Juillard School of Music, was a huge influence in his playing.

Drumming came very easy for Joseph; he was able to play rudiments naturally without knowing what he was playing. He remembers playing along with the Beatles & Monkey's tunes on his first toy drum set. At the age of 15, his parents bought him his first professional Ludwig Drum Set. Listening closely to his musical influences, Gene Krupa, Bubby Rich, Joe Morello and Carl Palmer...Joseph got busy on the drums. Within one year of studying and intense practice, he placed 2nd out of 2500 contestants in the New York City Talent Search Competition, where he competed against all types of acts. He went on to play with Mel Edwards, who was the singer & choreographer of the competition. The following year on 10th anniversary of the Talent Search Competition, Joseph was invited back as a special guest performer.

At the age of 16, Joseph was playing and recording professionally on the New York City music circuit with players twice his age. After 6 yrs of playing the Manhattan circuit and with his passion for drumming always center stage in his life, Joseph decided to start his own business and play locally on the weekends.

In 1985, Joseph had the opportunity to audition for the grand re-opening celebration of the World-Famous Apollo Theater.

May 5th, 1985. He performed for a critically enthusiastic crowd and placed 2nd in the competition. Joseph was then asked back to perform as a special guest for the filming of the pilot TV show "Showtime at the Apollo", which was sold to NBC.
