About

I am a professor and composer and been involved with music all my life. It all started with piano lessons and learning to play the saxophone around the same time at age ten. Two years later, I began performing my my father’s country-rock band, which ignited a passion for performance and playing in bands for many years. Eventually, I turned to teaching and composition full-time. Since 2000, I have taught music production at Middle TN State University and have released nine albums of original music. Here is a review of my catalog:

“Joseph’s solo piano debut Masterpeace was released in 2007 and caught the attention of many folks including Whispering Radio programmer David Nevue. The follow-up album, Spirit Touch, was included in Kathy Parson’s Top Albums of the Decade and enjoyed popularity on Music Choice Soundscapes. In 2011, A Piano Christmas earned album of the year and the same happened for Castle Moon in 2015 with EPR. To date, his music has reached close to 100 million streams on Pandora Radio. Since 2021, Joseph has released multiple singles with flutist Sherry Finzer on Heart Dance Records, and the new album Dream World, which charted #4 on Zone Music Reporter’s Top 100 Airplay chart.”

I have also released a book titled The Fundamentals of Synthesizer Programming (available on Amazon) and have programmed synthesizer presets for Sequential.
