ABOUT THE ARTIST
During Vivendi-Universal's height of popularity, Joey Daddario (in his soloist days) watched his song Miracle Mom overtake Madonna, Faith Hill, and REM on mp3.com's worldwide Top 40 chart - a chart truly reflecting a level playing field, allowing both independent and major label artists to compete with each other in an honest showdown. His beautifully written song rose to #2. Considering that each song competes with millions of others worldwide, this is a phenomenal achievement for the independent artist!

Joey is one of the most sensitive and creative singer-songwriters of our time.

Actress/Author Suzanne Somers said of his work:
"...Your music has an important message. I felt like [your song] 'Little Miss Perfect' was written about my life. You have taken a negative and turned it into an incredible positive to help others."
