Bio
Joey Daddario
Singer-Songwriter and FOUR-time ASCAP Plus Award Winner
Singer-songwriter Joey Daddario is a four-time recipient of ASCAP’s Plus Award which recognizes composers whose work has unique prestige value (2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008).
During Vivendi-Universal's height of popularity, Joey Daddario watched his song Miracle Mom overtake Madonna, Faith Hill, and REM on mp3.com's worldwide Top 40 chart - a chart truly reflecting a level playing field, allowing both independent and major label artists to compete with each other in an honest showdown. His beautifully written song rose to #2. Considering that each song competes with millions of others worldwide, this is a phenomenal achievement for the independent artist!
Joey is one of the most sensitive and creative singer-songwriters of our times.
Actress/Author Suzanne Somers said of his work:
"...Your music has an important message. I felt like [your song] 'Little Miss Perfect' was written about my life. You have taken a negative and turned it into an incredible positive to help others."
His CDs and Music Video have sold thousands. His songs are popping up everywhere - in Independent films, Radio, and all over the Internet (including the popular, mammoth-sized, website www.amazon.com and the largest seller of independent CDs - www.cdbaby.com). His original compositions, heard all over the world, have garnered him nearly 1 million in downloads/plays/sales. Incredible!
His timeless award-winning music video, Retreat-Domestic Violence Awareness, is so popular on amazon.com that it continues to be re-ordered time and again.
His songs have made their way to film as well. The latest one is a Todd Portugal film, co-starring Rachel Hunter, called Soul Mates. Another one of his popular songs is in the film Flooding which has been rented over 10,000 times at Hollywood Video.
This socially conscious, God-centered, artist delivers passionate heartfelt vocals layered over well-crafted personal stories and beautiful melodies. His songs stir your heart…deeply. He is unafraid to write on sensitive subject matters such as recovery, domestic violence awareness, social/Godly struggles, heart-wrung relationships, and spirituality. His groundbreaking work is the seed of legends – courageous. His Top 40-fueled-radio-friendly sound engages the listener automatically as they feel their heart beating in rhythm to his.
Listen to his songs and find out why fans treasure the soulful touch of this intimate, personal artist - an artist who voices our hidden feelings, and quiet truths, which guide our lives. He is the artist who already knows you.
