Joseph O'Brien

Singer/Songwriter Joseph O’Brien is creating and performing music to help inspire every generation to follow Jesus. Growing up with two musical parents, the TN native had music running through his blood from day one. At age 12, he taught himself how to play the piano and realized that is where his passion was. O’Brien says, “I’ve always gravitated towards music. It’s one of those unexplainable drives that God puts in you. It was never a burden to learn and grow in it.”

His talent took him to the quarter finals of “America’s Got Talent,” where O’Brien wowed the judges and audiences with his quirky personality, dynamic range and emotional depth, delivering unforgettable renditions of classic songs and original compositions alike. His performances were praised for their authenticity and raw emotional power, with judge Simon Cowell declaring him “having a fighting spirit” and “good energy.” CCM legend, TobyMac took notice as well, signing him to his Gotee label, one of the most influential Christian music labels in the United States. O’Brien’s hope is to write songs that inspire others, especially his own generation to be bold for Christ and to dig deeper into their own faith. He is passionate about using his music to spread a positive message and inspire others to live a life of purpose and meaning. "His sound has been described by others to resemble modern pop artists like Charlie Puth, Lauv, and Owl City, who he counts as some of his inspiration."

With his first radio single “Down In My Heart (Joy),” O’Brien is excited to encourage through his music and faith. Last year, He embarked on his dream tour, playing with Steven Curtis Chapman and is looking forward to continuing connecting with his fans.
