Born in Fort Liberte, Haiti; Frank Joseph better known as Brother “J” began his exploration of music with a gift given to him from his father Pastor Francis Joseph three decades ago.
During one of his many visits to Haiti from the Bahamas Pastor Francis Sr, brought home a harmonica for his son and instantly his passion for music was born. It did not take long until Brother “J” mastered playing the harmonica. In 1979, he moved to the Bahamas to live with his father, there he explored a new instrument- the guitar. Four years later, he formed the group New Direction, a 7-member band. Under his leadership, New Direction ministered the good news of Jesus Christ at events and local churches. Brother “J” led this for four years until he made the decision to move to South Florida in 1986, after he graduated high school. In pursuit of a higher education, he soon enrolled at ABCI Technical Institute in Pompano Beach, Florida.

It was Bishop Moss of First Christian Church by Faith that reminded Brother “J” of God’s promise. The vision that God gave him was to have a music ministry that will save the lost and heal the hurting. His devotion for music and love for the gospel inspired him to reform the group “New Direction”. The band had new members and it was evident that the vision God placed in Brother J’s heart for his music ministry was one of excellence, perseverance and commitment for the gospel.

Although the group worked tirelessly to produce an album, it never materialized. Nonetheless, his vision for spreading the gospel through music never died. His words…

“A vision is rooted in a place where storms and situations of life cannot uproot its originality and shake its foundation.
A bright light that leads the road ahead, for those who so acquire propels a vision.
A vision becoming a reality is executed by the accomplishment of this very album”
