About

Joe Manuel has been performing at concerts, weddings, parties, corporate gatherings and other events for twenty years. He has toured throughout China, Spain, Central America, South America, Israel, Austria, and the United States (including Carnegie Hall, NY). As a recording artist he has worked with Michael Thompson (guitars for Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston), John Robinson (drums for Quincy Jones and Madonna), Maxanne Lewis (vocal coach for Celine Dion and Britney Spears), Skyler Lexx (producer for Janet Jackson), and Wyn Davis (producer for No Doubt and Sublime). Currently, he is working with Table & Eve as an events musician and at Arts Aloud as the Music Director.

For your event, the sound system and accommodating song list is included, and if you need an MC, Joe (who is bilingual) is your guy. From dress code to song requests, he will work closely with you to ensure that every detail will achieve your needs.

[Insured Performer: Event Certificate of Insurance available]
