Joseph Music

About Me

Music as an art form, art as a form of communication, communication as a form of responsibility.

My name is Joseph Carmen Horta. I wrote my tunes with alot of prayer, sweat and tears. From melody to guitars, from performance to production these songs speak my soul.

It's like THAT.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 22/07/2005
Band Members: Joseph: Lead Vocals, bak vox, guitars, keys, production, lyrics.

I am LOOKING for band members!!!. I put up some raw tracks that I am developing into songs but need the collaboration of a band.

I need a creative GUITARIST who has great Rock tone (pro rig).

I need a BASS PLAYER and DRUMMER who drive the feel of the music. You guys are so important for the dynamics of the music.

I have drawn some interest from promoters wanting to add me to their roster I had a couple of independent labels that I had to pass up because the music is not ready and they are looking for bands. The current tracks I am developing have potential but need the right collaboration of band mates.

Contact me by email if you are interested: [email protected]

Influences: God

Now...Incubus, The Classic Crime, P.O.D, Deftones, Flyleaf, Lenny Kravitz, Linkin Park, Switchfoot

Not so long ago...Pearl Jam, Kings X, Living Colour, Creed, No Doubt

In my soul... Prince, Billy Joel, Mint Condition, Music Soulchild, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Stevie Wonder

Then...U2,The Police, Depeche Mode, Tower of Power, Earth Wind and Fire, Van Halen, The Eagles, Santana, Level 42, Billy Idol
Sounds Like: Indie/Rock with in your face intent, upward introspection and awe.

So much...yet so little.

It's quite laughable and contentious this delusive continuum of life. Are we so deceived? Do we know what it means to really live and how fragile our existence is, how temporary, how mysterious its' e...
