From Family Influence to Dream-Driven Songwriting: The Story Behind Joe Capen's Music

Joe Capen’s love for music began early, growing up in a home filled with rhythm. His father, a drummer in classic rock cover bands, introduced him to the stage at just 12 or 13 years old. This exposure ignited his passion, paving the way for his lifelong musical journey.

The Birth of a Songwriter

At 14, a vivid dream inspired Joe to write music. Unable to articulate his feelings any other way, he turned to songwriting as a form of emotional expression.

A Style Rooted in the Classics

Joe’s unique sound is deeply influenced by the music of the '60s, '70s, and '80s. For most of his life, he immersed himself in these decades, rarely engaging with contemporary tunes. The result is a nostalgic, authentic style that resonates with timeless music lovers.

The Making of "Alsada"

Joe’s debut album, Alsada, released in October, features songs written years ago. It represents just 20% of his extensive catalog, with plans to record and release more music over the next few years. His goal? To bring his once-private creations to a global audience.
