Joe Cerisano

Joe Cerisano began performing professionally at the age of 14 and in the years since, has emerged as one of American music's most sought-after singer/songwriter producers. During his career, the West Virginia native has been a founding member of California '80s rock band Silver Condor (with David Bowie's former guitarist Earl Slick), a studio session singer, a singer for television and radio commercials, and a backing vocalist for Michael Bolton. Cerisano has also sang with Blue Öyster Cult, Gloria Estefan, Placido Domingo, and Richie Havens. In 1990, he and his songwriting partner Marc Blatte began work on Carbon Copy, which they eventually recorded in New York City, New Jersey, and Nashville. Providing further proof that Joe Cerisano's currency is as vital today as it ever was, in 1999 he contributed vocals to the alternative metal band Korn on their Issues release. ~ Roxanne Blanford
