BIO 
Joseph Rodriquez was born and raised in Ponce, P.R. in a close-knit family. His father was a musician in the school band so it was natural that Joseph was a musician from the day he was born. At the age of 6 years old, music was no longer promoted in school so Joseph made his own music by drumming with pencils on his desk. At the age of 10 his father exposed him to the music of Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez which caught Joseph's interest. A year later his father bought him a drum set and Joseph began to practice. At the age of 15 he became a member of a band called The Freedom Brothers which played the music of Three Dog Night and other popular bands of the time. It was at this time that Joseph decided to master the guitar. His mother was also taking guitar lessons so she showed him his first chords which he practiced day after day in his bedroom. Joseph was also greatly influenced by the bands he saw in the Woodstock Festival documentary which drove him to practice more and more. So it's no surprise that you will hear in Joseph's style the influences of Santana, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, and many other bands from that musical era.
He also played in a group that performed the music of Grand Funk Railroad where he honed his vocal skills. Learning guitar changed Joseph's life as people started to notice his skills on the instrument. His ultimate dream was to play in the United States where most of his idols performed. Joseph continued to play his music until he discovered the computer and all the musical possibilities that came along with it. Although he had recorded music on reel to reel and mini disc recorders, they didn't compare to the capabilities of PC recording.
Joseph also worked at local recording studios where he learned a great deal about the process by recording some area artists in and around Ponce and nearby cities. In 1980 he recorded with a band called Stevie Staff where he arranged the music, played drums, keyboards, and guitar. With his new found computer recording skills and all the possibilities that came along with it, Joseph began to compose and make more music right from his PC. It was at this point that it all came together with the Internet explosion. This allowed Joseph to meet other musicians and fans from around the world. He now has a site to place his songs and share his music with the world. But through all this Joseph has never lost his burning desire to play in the United States so he can fulfill his lifelong dream and share the God given talents he feels fortunate to have.

REVIEWS Well,....I'll admit,....I was surfing around,.....just commenting here and there,....trying to drive some comments my way. Then I stumbled on this guy. Man this dude can play. The arrangement is articulated very well and this musician knows precision. Makes me think maybe this guy ought to be doing studio work.
There are heavy "classic rock" influences. AC/DC,....Foghat?.....Boston??

This album shouts four names out to me. Firstly there is Joseph Rodgriguez, who is one of the most talented people in the mp3unsigned community. Second the previously mentioned Steve Vai. There are very small hints of Van Halen in there as well, which can only be a good thing. And finally, as aonyone who listens to Joseph play will notice, Santana is a bit of an influence on him.

The Heart Stealer track is just how I believe a rocker should be - in your face, meaty full of memorable riffage, but, above al else a TUNE.

Joseph is definitely on guitars, and I'm pretty certain that Allan Bell is on vocals, but I'm not sure who or what provided the rest of the track! Either way, this is a lesson in classic rock through and through!

Some really fantastic hard rocking tracks on this album. It\'s full of classic riffs that firmly place it in the more melodic end of heavy metal. I am reminded of many classic artists when listening, but there is enough originality in the tunes and diversity to give it a voice of it\'s own. Whoever says melodic rock is dead should look no further. Joseph appears to be a amazing guitarist from the tracks on show and both the singers he has used for his tracks certainly belt them out with aplomb. Fantastic album, buy it
Paul Rogers
Joseph\'s amazing talent as a guitarist shines through every track as one might expect, but I was delighted to find all the other artists of such high calibre enriching the whole. Mark Holley, Essence, and Allan are already well known to me and all are excellent artists in their own right as well as wonderfully talented collaborators. Norbert, Eliseo, Fernando and William are new names to me and I can tell equally as talented because this whole CD was sheer delight. I have listen many times already and it is a cd I shall keep always.
