"Joseph Konty, fresh grooves with a feeling. Joseph is a soulful young gentleman with strong energy for creating music with a deep groove. His music is honest, tasteful and it comes straight from his heart. When I listen to his music I feel the influences of groove makers like Sly Stone, James Brown and other pioneers of R&B. I am proud to have Joseph as my friend and am impressed by his dedication to the art of creating his own style of soulful music. I highly recommend Joseph Konty for any music venue and have faith that he will enhance your event." -Norman Sylvester (The Boogie Cat), Singer/Songwriter, Portland, OR
