Artist Mission
"Music is a gift from the universe. You hold its power in the palm of your hand every time you perform. You never own it, and you must keep giving it away or you'll lose it. Sure, I believe I have something special to say with my music. Every musician believes that. The key is not whether your music is special but whether it is beneficial. That's the reason why I strive with my music to influence and motivate people to do good things so that we can all work together for a better future. We are all in the wilderness of life and music is a pathway to the promised land ahead.
"There are thousands of young people blessed with the gift of music and who could play better than me if given the chance. I've simply been blessed with opportunities those kids have never had. It is for all of them that I play, too." - VJ
Music Influences
Phil Emmanuel, Tommy Emmanuel, Luther Allison, SRV, Hank Marvin, BB King, Chet Atkins, Pete Andrews, Joe Beard, Ross Ward, Walter Trout.
Such was Tommy Emmanuel's influence that just eighteen months after meeting him, and aged 8 years, VJ was in a studio recording his 12-track debut CD - Shadow of a Dream - featured here on Artistopia.
VJ has lately matured into a dedicated Blues / Blues-Rock artist recently touring Europe with Wolf Mail and jamming with Walter Trout during his UK 'Full Circle' tour.
