“Joe Antaine is an exciting singer/songwriter with a captivating sense of harmony and melody, unique productions and a wide-ranging style.”
The term “singer/songwriter” often evokes the image of the cigarette-wielding, acoustic guitar bedazzled cider-guzzler, or the pensive piano man, whispering his vamping sorrow to the nooks and crannies of his loft apartment. Joe Antaine with his fuel and fire of adventurous pop production and compositional brilliance torches a new path through this landscape; providing effortlessly charismatic, anthemic pop through to winding, hypnotic ballads with intimidatingly nonchalant fluency. Jimmy Webb, Portishead and Dr Dre are just some of the influences which have set Joe Antaine on a trajectory of creativity not reserved for the typical piano balladeer.
Joe Antaine is a talented songwriter, vocalist and pianist who relays captivating stories and soundscapes to listeners in his music and conversations. He has worked in various settings including in bands, studios and as a tutor. He has an in-depth understanding and experience of the music industry with countless tales ranging from the hilarious to the surreal. Whether it's being handed coordinates by two ominous, suited figures in a hotel lobby with the request to perform jazz standards at an ill-fated, barn-housed strip show, the dangers of playing "Sit Down" by James to fill time at a gig or to being too agreeable with management and producers with questionable vision; Antaine is a charismatic and engaging conversationalist with exceptional knowledge of his craft.
Joe Antaine will be releasing a run of singles through to May of 2023 beginning with "Wreck This Room", a bombastic, summertime heartbreak-fueled pop sing-along with a debut album release set for this time.
