I see myself as a true American artist. Using visions and observations as reference to the communion of words and music. The beauty of nature, art, music, literature, and theater inspires me. People ignite my energy and I find myself attracted to social oddities. I am an Aquarius feeling sincerity for my art and an underlining obligation to accomplish as much as I can as an artist. Though I have never imagined a reality in music, I have found it to be a medium universal on impact and easy on emotion. I always thought I would be a cartoonist or designer, prodding away at the drawing board, day in and day out. Mislead without the instant gratification of a live audience. I’d like to be remembered as somewhat of a prophet philosophizing romantic lyric, dying on society’s crucifix for my love of art and my loyalty to creation. ---Joe Roads
