Bio

Joel has been playing the saxophone for over 22 years. Music has been his passion since he began playing as a child, and his musical passion has continued to grow even as he has pursued and achieved great academic accomplishments. He achieved a Bachelors of Arts in Music from Florida A&M University. There, he was a student senator, a BIONR Scholar, a dean’s scholar, a member of the jazz lab band, a member of the symphonic band, part of the group the MACK PACK and a saxophonist at University Ministries C.O.G.I.C.
After graduating from FAMU with a B.A. degree in Music, Joel’s passion for music continued to blaze as he expanded his academic interest and pursued a Master’s in Historical and Theological Studies from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While distinguishing himself in Theological Studies as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, Joel continued to follow his passion for music as he became a member of the symphonic band, a member of various musical groups and a saxophonist for Higher Dimensions Church.
As a musically talented academician, Joel continued his studies by pursuing a Juris Doctorate from the Walter F. George School of Law, where he was a member of the Moot Court Board, Vice-President of the Student Bar Association, a member of the Black Law Students Association and the Head Bar/Bri Representative. While matriculating through law school as a highly involved, aspiring attorney, Joel continued to brand himself as a smooth jazz saxophonist as he began and developed a jazz band, Joeltrane.
Even after becoming a Public Defender for the Office of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Tampa, Florida, where he distinguished himself by winning the Best Advocate Award at the Public Defender’s College and by progressing through the intake, misdemeanor, drug court and felony departments, making a successful record in jury trials, Joel’s sax remained Joel’s passion. After starting his own law practice, Joseph W. Brown, II, Attorney and Counselor at Law, P.A. (www.josephwbrownii.com), Joel would practice law by day and record music by night as he laid the melodic tracks for his first solo sax CD project, “Daddy Loves His Baby.”
Joel takes much pride in his music and his musical pride compliments his pride in his family, work and community. He has a loving wife, Tiffanie, and is the proud father of their two sons, Jay and Joshua. Joel also volunteers as a mentor at Booker T. Washington Elementary School, is a member of the School Advisory Council at Booker T. Washington Elementary School, a member of the 100 Black Men of Tampa Bay, Inc., a member of the NAACP, a member of the Hillsborough County Bar Association, and a member of the George Edgecomb Bar Association.
The dynamic and inspiring Joel Brown has played in venues all over the country and knows that his future is ripe with more opportunities as he continues to bless others with his gift of music.
