"I believe music is a powerful tool for reflection and connection. Most of my songs carry a heavy tone, yet they offer an atmosphere where you can sit in your favorite chair, put on the album, and reflect on life. This is the essence of Umbersound.”

I have always felt a strong connection with music, and when I write with the intention of creating a reflective experience, it reignites my motivation and creativity. Each song is an opportunity to disappear and lose yourself in the music.

The feedback I receive from listeners who connect with my albums is incredibly fulfilling. It reminds me why I write. While the core of my writing is to express what comes naturally, it's equally important to write with others in mind. We are not the center of the world; there is no self, there is nothing, as David Lynch might say.

I congratulate those who find this connection through my music. It's rare to discover what you're looking for, and I'm grateful to those who truly 'get it.' Music transcends genres; it's about the message and the connection. If you feel nothing, it's okay to move on. My music is for those who listen and connect with the music. My music is not about genres my music is for the outcast of the outcast." Joe D’Angelo
