Joseph Ryan Moralez
Keys/BGVs
Hello! My name is Joe Moralez. I am 23 years old and live in Dallas, Tejas. I am originally from Boerne, Tejas, which is a small town in the hill country outside of San Antonio. I started playing piano when I was in the 4th grade. My mommy put me in piano lessons against my will and eventually I quit because recitals freaked me out. I continued playing despite my phobia of recitals and have loved it since! I joined my first band when I was a sophomore at Boerne High School. Ever since then I have continued to play music with the same group of friends and have recently made new friends by joining the Jeff Berry Band in October 2005. I am also currently playing music on my own. You can check out my stuff at joemoralez.com.
