Picked up the guitar at the age of 13.  Self taught, Joe has developed a unique style and technique of guitar playing that incorporates the greats that he has seen and listened to over the years, like Jimmy Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Joe Perry.

The bands that influenced him the most were Aerosmith, Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue and Creed.
