Hugely passionate about music from a  young age, Joe got his first taste of songwriting and performing in local bars with school friends before going pro in his late teens. The signing of his first band 'The Ammunition' to a London based Indie label led to the recording of Joes debut album of original music at Abbey Road Studios, London.

In 2008 Joe travelled to Memphis where he recorded at Sun Studios, Memphis.

As 'Winter Mountain' Joe  is becoming known nationwide for his distinct songwriting abilities, his electrifying live performances,  and extraordinarily soulful voice.
