Joseph Higgins
Musician * Beat Producer
Joseph W. Higgins
Chicago native, Joseph Higgins attended the Chicago Art Institute, to study the art of playing
drums using various techniques. His owns style is a mix blend of Hip Hop and Jazz. He had a
love for both genre's. He spends numerous hours creating different sounds and experimenting
with his passion for a mix blend of two powerful types of music.
Joseph's passion for music starts with his love of R&B , the smooth style Jazz and the edginess
that Hip Hop delivers. He best describes it as , "laid back R Kelly with a mixture of Tupac and
Biggie Smalls flava all rolled up into a Kenny G type feel then designed with a Herbie Hancock
signature".
He composed and rearrange musical compositions for a variety of individuals and in many clubs
throughout the nation including, Block E, in Minneapolis Minn, Stage Two in Omaha Nebraska,
and Shadows in New York. Joseph also has numerous bits of his compositions on a host of
Internet web sites. In his travels, he taught many students about the art of playing drums,
through his unique experience with analog sets and/or keyboard midi controller.
His interested in drums started, when he was given an 8 piece drum set at the age of 6. He
idolized Micheal Jackson. His dream was to follow Michael's infamous footsteps in the music
industry.
While living in the Chicago housing development, Joseph met a young lady (before she got
famous), that became an inspiration. He would listen to her drummer playing , in the apartment
on the first floor. This young lady was Cicely Tyson. She was living in the same projects as
Joseph at the time. He use to watch her outside the window practicing everyday. He reflects on
the time when Ms Tyson got her calling and moved on to the entertainment business. She did go
back to her roots and visited Doolittle grade school one time. Ms. Tyson is now an award winning
Actress.
Joe is teaching and producing at this time. He is constantly in the studio, creating more of what
he calls "Fusions Music" If you are interested in learning more about this unique brand and style
