Joseph Sullinger
Born in the United States in 1969, Joseph Sullinger began playing guitar at the age of six on a classical guitar owned by his mother Julia, who was trained as a concert pianist and choir director. His father, Dwight, is currently principal tuba player of the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra.

During his first year of guitar, Joseph made his first public performance in a musical program at the school he attended. At age nine he accompanied a choral program and by the age of 12 he was writing original compositions. He became interested in various styles of music including rock and blues and by 13 had formed the first of several original rock groups. He began living on his own at 15 and dedicated himself to constant practice and years of extensive live performances, several of which were with international recording artists.

Eventually his love for classical guitar took priority and his writing style has become an interesting combination of classical and flamenco sounds which have been given various names including “new acoustic” and “world guitar.” However, due to his experience with different styles, his music always tends to have an interesting sound of its own. He currently lives in Mexico writing music, recording, performing and teaching privately.
