Armed with his battered acoustic guitar, Joseph croaks his way through humorous yet pleasantly dark tales of so called Inner-city life in his edgy southern twang.Joseph’s obsession with lyrics, life and modern day monotony lead to an ambition to create a new innovative sound that has both lyrical power and emotional intensity to communicate directly to the heart and head.At 23 he moved to London, spending the next few years drawing from experience, and observations in the construction of his debut album. Empty books were steadily filled up with scruffy poems, lyrics and short stories.Joseph’s ditties relate to all, combining chaotic melodies, cackling choruses and twisted comic tales of modern-day twenty-first-century-toss. He sings of escapism, hope, lost-love, desire, disappointment, dirt and dross. His punk-diddley knees-up numbers have the ability to make the soul, laugh, dance or cry.There are heartfelt stories of soul-destroying detested jobs, cravings, cigarettes, cider,
city-boys, gutsy-girls, mundane-meritocracy, monkeys, misunderstanding and malice.He talks of fantasy and fiction, obesity, odour, sickness, sadness and self-pity. There are tales of wine, wisdom, weekends and repugnant waste. Intoxicated togetherness, boredom, bed-sits, beatings and bums. The lookers, The lipstick smeared tarts, The romance and of course the regret.In such melodic intrigue he mangles the darkest days with the happiest of endings, contrasting beauty with wretched ugliness, intelligential hooligans, coked-up grot-bags, arrogance, ignorance, the idiotic railways and tubes to the endearing tramps that call it home.The roots of joseph’s musical ability stretch far, wide and beyond, from dance, indie, folk, and pop-culture. The diversity and turbulence of his life experiences add to the depth and passion of his creation.Joseph
