20-Year-old John Joseph expresses in his music what is so hard to say in life. He gives voice to the emotions that he can’t explain, and unites us by creating a place where things no longer go unsaid. His music lies somewhere between the Caribbean melodies of his childhood, Gospel, Praise & Worship Music, and the artists like Lecrae, Kendrick Lamar, and B.o.B.
John Joseph was raised in St. Louis, Missouri with Haitian background and influence and has been refining his craft for as long as he can remember. He started making music at the age of two, when he taught himself to play the piano.
He started rapping, producing, and hitting the decks (turntables) once he got to high school and has shown a talent for writing and production well beyond his years. In addition to his impeccable song-writing, rapping, singing and production skills, John Joseph has mastered multiple instruments. He’s impossible to pigeon hole, as he’s such a unique blend of so many things, and in his latest releases you can hear the influences of everything from Hip Hop and EDM, to Pop and Soul.
John Joseph has gained notice from labels, leaving him at three offers from three labels in 4 years. John Joseph later declined. John Joseph went on to start his own company (Creative LGCY), team and band, wanting to bring up his city with creative, musicians, & other young artists in St. Louis. John is starting to pioneer a movement and a new wave of creators.
