Get Joseph's new CD - Masterpeace!

Your music sets an instant mood, and you stay with it until the end. And peace is what you end up with...beautiful.
Michael Hoppe - grammy nominated composer and recording artist

"Life is so hectic and at times almost too challenging. Your compositions, your playing and the passion contained in each piece help make my life move a bit slower, add more meaning and reflection, and put a smile on my face at every listening. Your music has become a special part of my life and I thank you. It has been said that each of our lives touches 10,000 people of which we may never be aware. I wanted to be sure you knew about this one."
Christine Paradee

"Joseph's music is deeply moving, sacred & spiritual and takes the soul on a glorious journey - it paints beautiful images in the mind while haunting notes and rhythms edge open the heart. Simply beautiful."
Rev.'s Dyann & Michael Woody, (aka singer-songwriter duo -The Woodys)

"YOU my friend are simply amazing! If you're not the next Jim Brickman I don't know who is!!! I listen to your CD daily and love, love, love it. Thank you so much for all you are and all you're doing to make this world a better, more peaceful and melodic place to be.

   About Joseph Akins

Hello! Welcome to my music profile. My new CD, Masterpeace, is a collection of acoustic piano solos that I have written over the past few years. Recorded on a remarkable grand piano, reviewers are describing it as peaceful, soothing and beautiful. I invite you to listen to the songs on this page and watch the "Making Of" video below. Links for purchasing the CD and digital downloading are to the left.

If you email me your email address, I will put you on my mailing list. This is a great way to keep in touch and get my e-newsletter sent directly to you (with some giveaways).

If you like live piano music, please check out my upcoming shows. If I am not appearing in your area, I may be interested doing so. Please contact me if you are interested in booking me or just sharing some ideas for possibilities. I play for churches, festivals, house concerts, studios, etc.

Hey Joseph, Yes we know Dan--he's great. Let me know when your next concert is and we'd love to come if we're in town. Charlie is out of town right now rehearsing for Yanni's new live DVD that they're filming in Acapulco in mid Nov. Great to "meet" you on myspace and look forward to meeting you and your wife in person. Take care and have a great day.
