About Us

First and foremost, we are servants of Chief Cornerstone Yeshua, the Ultimate Holy Man and Go-Between. We strive to bring the Gospel in a way that is culturally understandable to indigenous and non-indigenous people throughout the world with biblical teaching, music and prayer. 

The Creator called us into music ministry as well and the name of our band - The Blessed Blend - is indicative of the music we sing in that our music reflects the blending or marriage of both the Native and Celtic cultures. We both share and identify with the Native American (Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Taino) and Celtic (Roscommon Irish, Clan McDonald Scotland, and Galician heritage in our family history. We love playing our traditional music for the Lord with our flutes, drums (hand drum and Celtic bodhran), bagpipes and the Celtic harp as well as singing (powwow - northern and southern styles, Celtic) and dancing.

His father was a pastor for over 30 years and the rest of his family is full of musicians of various styles. He has been performing since he was four years old, when his father gave him his first flute.  Joseph grew up playing the flute, singing, dancing, and storytelling carrying on the tradition of his Taino people. He served in the U.S. Army  and went on to graduate from Mercer University with a Bachelors in Social Sciences. 

Joseph is a vocalist and plays various Native Flutes, bagpipes, Native Drums, tin whistle, & bodhran.  He is also an educator, traditional storyteller, songwriter, dancer, actor and most importantly a servant of the Lord.
