Want to make music that sounds real? I produce organic music: songs consisting of real instruments, real performances. I have had my music placed in major films like Marvel's Deadpool as well as shows like Justified, Bloodline, Marvel's AKA Jessica Jones. I am an internationally touring artist, have won over 20,000 in songwriting prize money.
Hello nice to meet you! My name is Joe and I have been crafting songs and producing for 12 years (although I am new to Soundbetter!)
All the songs up on my page were written and produced by me. That's me singing, playing guitar, keys, and bass as well. I specialize in:
-soul
-rock
-country
-standards
-pop
I work very closely with my artists, step by step, to create music that surpasses your expectations. Whatever instruments you hear in your head I can either play or get my talented friends to lay down. Excited to work with you.

Joe has an incredibly strong voice and is a super gifted guitar player. He's efficient and super creative. Easy to communicate with and delivers great quality work. I highly recommend working with him! He's also just a super cool human.
I wrote and produced a song with a friend of mine and while I thought she was going to record vocals on it she ended up bringing Joe into the project to not only sing the song but also to add electric guitar. I was blown away by how amazing the track turned out with Joe being part of it, and how much cooler it became. Not only is he a really great vocalist, but he is an outstanding guitarist who rips top-notch guitar solos and has a great tone and feel to his playing. Joe Marson is the man!
Joe sang all of my lead vocals for my Brut Esquire Society rock album... He's amazing and a pros pro he is Brut Esquire Society in my book he will always have my total and unwavering endorsement.
