Joe Ward
At 18 years of age, Joe Ward is already a bit of an all rounder in the music industry. He has been recording since an early age, having sung backing vocals on several hit singles and is experienced in music production. He is also a regular DJ on the South Coast. Joe is currently attending college taking a course in music technology and any spare time he has is devoted to finishing his debut album.
Joe tells us “I don’t want to write songs which are not reflective of someone my age. Being a teenager is great fun but it also comes with lots of stresses and struggles of its own. I use humour a lot in my music because life through my eyes is pretty funny and sometimes really incredibly peculiar! My music reflects that, but I also want to communicate that even though we are young, we sometimes show more maturity and depth than we are given credit for”.
Joe is no stranger to the recording studio . “My parents house revolved around music. We had a Pro studio there,” he says, “instruments and artists in and out all the time, many chart stars, part of my life from year dot,” Joe recalls. “It was really only a matter of time for me to make the decision that music would be fundamental to my life and my career.”
“My upbringing and the chances I had to perform showed me what was possible in this business,” he says, “it taught me that success doesn’t just happen, you have to go out and earn it.” So, back in 2004, Joe put ambition into action and started writing material for his debut album. Several years, gazillions of torn up pieces of paper and rejected songs later, Joe has finally honed his writing skills enough to have been noticed by and signed to The Junk Label.
Joe spent most of August and October 2009 in Cyprus where he played some acoustics gigs and worked on the album. He is now back in the UK playing live and promoting his debut single ‘Did you see it (Arsene Wenger)’ which was released on 23 November 2009.
Joe Ward’s management and record label is The Junk Label:

The debut single from Joe Ward brings us a story of selective vision in all things relating to love.
