Named by the Evening Standard as 'one of London's great singers and songwriters', Joe made a huge impact on national radio last year with his super catchy plea to 'Make Love' which Radio 2 took to its heart.
After being playlisted for five weeks, Chris Evans drew comparisons with the likes of Paulo Nutini and Amy Winehouse, with Joe's life-affirming brand of 'new music that sounds like old music' winning him fans all over the UK.
Joe’s distinctive rich vocals over his unique blend of new classic jazz-flavoured blues & soul have earnt him a reputation for being a fabulous live performer.
He was bass player with Scritti Politti, Ian Dury, Desmond Dekker and Kintone before becoming a solo artist.
Joe has since recorded and written for K.T Tunstall, Hall & Oates, Hugh Masakela, Bheki Musaleku, Marianne Faithfull and Leona Lewis.
