Joey Pearson is a phenomenon! The instant you hear him, you know he was born to sing. The key to Joey's electrifying presence is that his performances feel so right, so effortless: no feigned emotion, no artificial ingredients. His ability to connect with an audience is second to none.

Joey Pearson was born in Southern Georgia, a state that has spawned musical giants like Ray Charles and Otis Redding. In the diverse neighborhood that comprised his world, radio served up a swirling gumbo of great music-soul, gospel, blues, rock, pop and R&B. Joey's young ears absorbed it all: Stevie Wonder's Motown stylings, Otis Redding's deep soul, as well as mainstream pop from early favorites like Elton John and Celine Dion.

Joey began to sing at an early age, without special encouragement or schooling. Listeners who experienced the voice behind the door were startled to discover they had been humming to the vocals of a fourth-grader!

Singing in front of audiences is now Joey's consuming passion. He feeds off the energy he kindles, and keeps pouring it on. His knockout appearances on Star Search and the Jenny Jones Show made seasoned veterans take notice of his explosive stage persona.

With fans in 30 countries and substantial CD sales, Joey Pearson is rapidly becoming a global attraction. Now residing in California, he continues to perform, write, record, hone his craft and develop as a true artist for the long haul.
