Born on June 19, 1972  in Chicago, IL.  Joe and his family moved west to California when Joe was very young.  From an early age, Joe had an interest for music and began developing his artistic talents.  Like most teenagers, Joe would spend hours trying to mimic his favorite musicians before actually finding his own creative abilities. "I met Joe in our freshmen year of high school.  We were both huge pro wrestling fans and he would play the intro music  of all our favorite wrestlers.  When you're 14, you get a kick out of things like that!"  -Gus Guillen, Joe's longtime friend.           Over the years, Joe's musical talents matured. He no longer needed to mimic his favorite songs, but found a new interest in creating  his own music. With each new song he wrote, his talents developed and matured as a musician. This was the first piece of the puzzle.  The years of practicing elevated him to a new plateau. He was a bonafide Guitarist. "From day one, when I heard Joe play the guitar, I knew he was good.  But when Joe started to write his own music, and actually let me listen to his work, I knew he had talent."  -Gus Guillen           The final two pieces of the puzzle were completed when Joe showed promise as a talented song writer and performed lead vocals for his new album.  Many have compared Joe's vocal talents to other artists like Darius Rucker (Hootie & The Blowfish) and Scott Stapp (Creed).  The comparisons don't stop there as Joe's guitar talents have often honored him with the nickname Joe 'Joey Hendrix' Ellison because some of his earlier exploits captured Jimi Hendrix's style.            Today, Joe resides in Vacaville, CA.  However, he is ready to embark on a mission that many try to travel, but few have been able to complete.  The consensus around Vacaville, and the Bay Area, is that this man is well-equipped with lots of talent. Whether he is playing the guitar, writing songs, or singing lead vocals, Joe is ready for the world.  This is one artist that is sure to be hit.
