My Life
Born in Detroit, Joey has been on the music scene since he picked up a guitar at age 8. He has grown up surrounded by local Detroit musicians such a James Cloyd, Donnie Hartman (The Frost), Dave Gilbert (The Rockets), Johnny B Gayden, and many others.
By gaining valuable stage experience while playing gigs across Michigan with his father "Cousin Joe", Joey has learned how to outperform in both a solo and full band atmosphere.
When His father passed away May, 28th 2005, Joey began to play shows in the North Eastern part of Michigan while working on his debut album Stuck... Behind A Bus. After its completion Joey moved back into the Metro-Detroit area where he has since been making his name in the Detroit scene with some of his old, and new, friends!
