WORD

About Me



My name is Joe, this is my bio. I'm a local singer/songwriter/guitarplayer, etc. in OC. I've been gigging as an acoustic act for about 4 years. Before that, I used to play in rock/alt/indie music type bands. I'm also the worship leader at my church, Calvary Chapel Living Word in Irvine. My only real claim to fame is that in 2003 I won the Orange County Music Award as the best male vocalist in the county. But really, that's so subjective, and it's somewhat egotistical of me to point that out anyway. Plus, I don't like to live in the past. God blesses me so much each and every day. For instance, he gave me a great family which includes the following: my lovely wife jenni, son Jude and daughter Josie. You can download mp3's of some of my songs at my website, www.joearant.com. I just released my second solo album entitled Laurie Lane. What else...oh, I just finished a big bowl of Chocolate Malted Crunch. That's pretty much the best ice cream of all time.
