JoRob

On January 17th, one of the worst winter nights Washington, D.C. has ever seen, Joseph A. Waldron, also known as JoRob, was born. Being the brother, and an older sister, he had to work extra hard to gain his respect. At the very young age of four he endured the loss of his father who was robbed and brutally murdered. Forced to become the
man of the household, JoRob began to find ways to make ends meet; so he started singing. Not only did singing help bring money to JoRob’s family, but it helped him suppress the pain he felt from the loss of his father and the amount of stress he endured.
JoRob featured on many tracks for local artists in the metropolitan area. Singer, Songwriter, and Producer, JoRob was known to grace each track with his urban resonance. JoRob uses the pain that lies deep within his soul as well as the passion he has for music to grace each track; turning each song into a musical work of art. The unique sound and vibe that JoRob has in his music will never be matched; JoRob is constantly re-inventing himself to reach perfection. “There is always room for improvement. When you settle, that’s when you, as an artist, will fail.”
Where Did He Start?
In September of 2003, JoRob joined the Morgan State Choir, where he performed numerous times on National Television. While in the choir, he had the honor of performing in front of thousands of people with The Baltimore Symphony for the grand opening of a new Black History Museum in Baltimore, MD. This event was graced by the presence of the King of Zimbabwe, Bill Cosby, Montel Williams, and many influential celebrities. It was broadcasted nationally, as it was a historical moment for African Americans.
February 2011, JoRob teamed up with Eye Catching Entertainment to open EC&J Studios www.ecandjstudios.com. EC&J Studios is the only Dance Studios, Music Studio, Video, & Photography Studio in the surrounding Washington DC Area. The main reason EC&J Studios was created is because; as an independent artist JoRob knew how hard it was to find a “One Stop Shop” Where all his entertainment needs could be met at a cheap price and be able to make money as on the side. EC&J Studios contracts many local artists out who want to use the space to make money using their god given talents. Everything from vocal coaching beat making, dance classes and engineering courses are taught to other aspirer artist at EC&J Studios by other artists. EC&J Studios also has a modeling youth camp for kids who will eventually be our next industry Icons. We teach children how to gain a career in the entertainment industry and how to keep it. Recently, EC&J Studios was featured in the 2011 issue of Blue Lotus Magazine & helped sponsored their runway fashion show. JoRob & EC&J Studios also sponsored The Songwriters, Composers Music Conference in Chevy Chase Maryland.
