JOSEPH BANKS
MUSIC HAS BEEN A MAJOR PART OF MY LIFE SINCE I WAS 11 YEARS OLD.
IN MY EARLY YEARS I STARTED WALKING THE PATH SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE WALKED OVER THE YEARS WHO PLAY LEAD GUITAR. I JOINED A BAND CALLED ”ROX” THAT SANG AND PLAYED SOUTHERN ROCK MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH. WE WEREN’T BAD, AND WE ENJOYED A CERTAIN FAIR AMOUNT OF NOTORIETY, OPENING FOR MANY WELL KNOWN ACTS.AND ALL THAT TIME, GOD WAS PREPARING ME FOR THE WALK THAT HE WAS CALLING ME INTO. WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS OLD, MY LIFE AND MY MUSIC CHANGED DRASTICALLY WHEN I ASKED JESUS CHRIST INTO MY HEART AND LIFE AS LORD AND SAVIOR. GOD USED EVERYTHING I HAD EXPERIENCED IN THE WORLD, TO PERFECT THE GIFTS AND TALENTS, HE HAD GIVEN ME, AND INSTEAD OF SOUTHERN ROCK MUSIC, CHRISTIAN MUSIC BECAME MY GENRE OF CHOICE AND I STARTED WRITING, PLAYING AND SINGING ABOUT THE ”ROCK” OF MY SALVATION WHO CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER.
