“Words and music TALENTED singer-songwriter Stephen DiJoseph doesn't make a big issue of having Tourette's syndrome, so we won't either. His new CD HYPNOTIZED highlights his low-key, prog-rock sound and jazzy folkways plus, his dynamite, swinging version of the Moody Blues ‘Nights in White Satin’.” - Michael Harrington- Philadelphia Enquirer “Complex, bold, awe-inspiring performances and arrangements. The likes of which this listener has rarely witnessed.” – BrianAustin Whitney- Founder, JP Folks International Music Organization “...Strains of acoustic folk-rock, Beckish modernism, soft-pedal soul, and drum-'n'-bass coalesce into a poetic and accessible collection of songs with an original flavor." -Jon Sobel - Blogcritics.org (Hypnotized review 9.7.06) Stephen DiJoseph, award-winning classical-jazz pianist, composer, guitar experimenter, singer-songwriter, hand drummer, electronic keyboardist and video producer began demanding musical instruments at the age of six. Stephen's music is highlighted by the story of his “Synaptic Adventure” ... Tourette- inflected fusionary passion formed from the heart of experience and generously shared with his audience. “Stephen is one of those rare animals, able to offer up captivating and truly original songs with a soulful voice and then mind-bending instrumentals that leave you feeling "like you found something you didn't know you needed” says Maine Things Considered host Charlotte Renner. He was interviewed on the WHYY/NPR talkshow Radiotimes with Marty Moss-Coane discussing the ‘influence” of Tourette Syndrome on his music and creativity. Stephen has been a frequent guest on Philadelphia’s longest running folk radio program , The Gene Shay Show on WXPN, and his music has been featured on PRI’s Echoes, syndicated on over 170 radio stations. He's opened for such notables as Billy Jonas, Mad Pudding, Los Lobos, and Greg Brown. Stephen was in the top 500 honorable-mention catagories of the 13th and 14th Annual Billboard World Song Contest 2006 and 2007 and the Singer-Songwriter Awards 2007 for 4 songs from his new release Hypnotized.
