Here is an excerpt from Jody Joseph\'s bio:
\"Jody Joseph harbors an instinct bred from the historical significance of her own backyard, and has the passion and intensity to back it up. From the very first day on the planet, she was granted a musical heritage (one of her famous relatives was opera singer Mario Lanza, another one a cousin named Jon Bon Jovi), and during her early years she began forming a style drawn from various eras of rock, pop and soul.
Inspired by the reflections of her life, Joseph says, \"I have always believed that music is a universal language that has the ability to comfort and heal through some pretty dark moments in our lives.
Joseph began to realize her most fervent dreams into reality. “I always knew that I wanted to be a writer of my own songs, and knew that in some respects I would fight for their existences as if they were my own children. Because, in a very real way, that’s what songs are for me. They’re part of me.”
