Joseph began developing his academic and artistic understanding of creativity an early age, showing great enthusiasm for musical theater, magic, juggling, classical works, film, and generally any type of vaudevillian entertainment.

Joseph begins jazz studies on guitar and piano in 1999, later seeking out jazz visionary Douglas Swanigan, who along with his own enthusiastic research, helped to provide a broad platform of knowledge to execute creative concepts.

He began playing venues including hotels, restaurants, theaters, nightclubs, churches, casinos, convention centers and private parties, playing a variety of styles ranging from gospel and R&B, to straight ahead jazz and fusion. His hard working nature and work ethic attracted support from the the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation and the American Pianists Association well as attention from local press and record producers Michael and Janice Carter (Jazz City), who offered the young guitar player a record contract in 2005.  Joseph declined in favor of further development, continuing to “work out” in the studio and on the job.

His interests soon turn to composition and arrangement , inspired by romantic, modernist, neo-classical, and impressionist symphonic works.  His love of music for the stage is rediscovered, and begins focusing on works that are designed to impart a unique emotional message.  He continues to live and work in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Among many, most influential artists include: Weather Report, Chick Corea, Bernard Herrmann, Dave Grusin, Bela Fleck, Earth Wind and Fire, Bobby McFerrin, Danny Elfman, Steve Reich, and Miles Davis.
