Joseph McDonald

Heartfelt, moving performance that will have you asking for more!! I put a lot of excitement and passion into what I do!!

Joseph McDonald, a native of Zanesville Ohio, is a musician, singer and song writer. Joseph grew up in a family of musicians and learned to play the piano at the age of four. He learned to listen for the voice of God through music at an early age. From a Sunday morning church service at his grandfather’s church to sitting in the opera house watching his mother perform, Joseph’s musical ear vastly expanded in diverse genres. Joseph’s music has a unique style that reaches the hearts of his listeners.
Joseph is a recipient of the Mozart Most Outstanding Performer Award from Wright State University, where he completed dual majors – a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Joseph has also completed a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with concentrations in Entrepreneurship and Health Sector Management from DePaul University.

Joseph often jests that he is a programmer by day and a musician by night. He has maintained a longstanding career in healthcare software development. While he enjoys the dichotomy of both “worlds”, music is his true passion.

In the classical music arena, Joseph plays multiple instruments (oboe, piano, organ, flute and violin). He has performed with many ensembles, including the Ohio All-State Orchestra, Wright State Chamber Ensemble, University of Chicago Chamber Ensemble, and a tour in Japan with the Wright State Wind Symphony.

Joseph has used his vocal and instrumental gifts to serve many churches and communities. He has been afforded the opportunity to accompany and perform with Gospel Stellar and Grammy award winning artists.
