In 2019 he released the single "Wasted Dreams" from his first album.
In January of 2021, after a long difficult period he returned to the studio to record his second EP much more eclectic with pop and electro sounds.

Joseph Cesar's songs express a mixture and contrast of feelings about the world around us. This contrast is the reflection of his music. There is love, sadness, hope, anguish, fear, desire, revolt, indignation, freedom, lack and emptiness. He is always on the lookout for something new and different.
