Born Richard Aaron Haughton "Joose" hails from San Diego California by way of central Florida.

Joose is a singer, rapper, songwriter and vocal percussionist with music influenced by R&B, Hip-Hop, A-Cappella, Reggae, Choir,Classic Rock, Motown, Mbube, Blues and Ska.

Nicknamed "bootstrap" by his mentors, Joose is the consummate industry rookie. Joose is currently surrounded by several veterans ...( and a few all stars) of the San Diego music scene and working on his very first digital release. Still untilted, the EP will feature some well known and more polished artists.

With each song, Joose seeks to construct a capsule of words and sound in which the audience can cast their emotions and thoughts outward while drawing solace from the simple palpability and positive energy in the music. It is this artistic framework and in the spirit of Miles Davis by which Joose labels his musical style, "Social Music".

Joose is on Active duty with The Players Inc. a US based coalition of musicians dedicated to the promotion and performance of live music nationwide. Led by none other than Christofer "C-money" Welter, the misson of the players inc is to serve as a harbinger for live, grass-roots music across the globe in a time when too many fans have been subdued by the mainstream machine.

With feet on the ground, eyes on the sky and arms wide open the JooseMusic team is delivering the drum roll. We seek and invite support from all open and forthright corners of humankind.
