Joseph Arthur (born September 28, 1971) is a contemporary singer-songwriter from Akron, Ohio. He was discovered by Peter Gabriel in the mid-'90s, and signed to Gabriel's Real World label. Joseph began writing and playing music in his early teens, after inheriting an electronic keyboard from his aunt: "I couldn't play along with my records, so that's why I started writing my own. The keyboard had a sequencer so I started writing these little electronic music things. I thought I was a genius, and I would play them for my mom. And she'd be like, 'It sounds like Chinese music,' and it would crush me. I wanted her to say, 'That's the most genius thing I've ever heard.'" At age 16, he played bass in a blues band called Frankie Starr and the Chill Factor, which disbanded by 1991. Joseph graduated from Firestone High School in 1990 and continued developing his music.
