Joe Russell was born in South Florida and grew up listening to all kinds of music. He was hooked on the music sounds of rock and roll and wanted to become a singer. Joe started young as a member of a youth group called the Debonaires, in Miami, where they would go to talent shows and compete. He was allowed to see the big name artists perform before leaving for the night, being chaperoned by adults It only fueled his fire and from there he became a nightclub performer/recording artist, in various cities and clubs, until he changed his life and lifestyle, and started serving the Lord. Hes been writing and singing gospel and peace songs since 1996 and is still cranking them out for the joy it brings him to spread Gods message of love, peace and forgiveness.
