Over the years, Joe has released several albums, including "Hands Of God" (2006), "Risen Son" (2009), and "Can You Hear My Voice" (2012). His songs often address profound themes such as the sanctity of life, the courage of overcoming adversity, and the healing power of faith.
Joe has been actively involved in his community, performing at various events and venues such as coffee houses, churches, Christian Overcomer's events, and Ocean Grove Gospel music ministries. He has also served as a worship leader at his church in Fort Lee, NJ, for over 17 years.
