Joseph San Jose is a gifted musician, songwriter, and worship leader hailing from Vancouver, Canada. With a unique twist, Joseph's music has become a soothing lullaby for parents, helping them put their kids to sleep while nurturing his own family. What sets Joseph apart is his harmonious blend of music and mission, as he's not only a musician but also a dedicated missionary for Catholic Christianity. Transporting us to a pivotal moment in 2009, Joseph recounts an experience that forever changed his perspective on music. A song by Matt Maher during Eucharistic adoration ignited a revelation within him - music could be a conduit for prayer, a channel to communicate and encounter God. This epiphany transformed his musical pursuit, imbuing his compositions with a sacred purpose that goes beyond impressing audiences. Joseph's journey began with his father's rock music influence and self-taught guitar skills, eventually merging with his newfound mission of using music to facilitate prayer. Joseph's musical vocation is beautifully intertwined with his role as a husband and father. He vividly recalls a profound moment during World Youth Day in 2011, when a religious sister recognized his unique gift of guiding people to pray through music. Embracing the creative process, he draws inspiration from family life, integrating his role as a husband and father into his music. Joseph's ultimate aspiration is to lead listeners into encountering the divine through his compositions, allowing his melodies to become vehicles of prayerful transformation. As he continues his journey of faith and musical expression, Joseph exemplifies how music can elevate spirituality and connect individuals to a higher purpose.
