MONTANA JOSE Joseph A. Morris Artist Bio Artist, musician, performer, entertainer, Joseph A. Morris, is more broadly recognized under his monikers Montana Joe, Montana Jose, or just Montana. Born in the small town of Choteau, Montana, he took his first musical steps learning to play harmonica, drums, piano, and guitar. Montana was tutored under his grandparents and father, learning traditional Czech and Eastern European scales and music. In 2006, Montana graduated from the University of Montana. In 5 years his achievements include an Associate’s in Culinary Arts and a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts with a minor in Music, Dance, and Media Arts. Street performing for cheese and bread money, he studied music and art for 7 months while traveling in Germany, Spain, & Czech Republic. Shortly after graduating college Montana moved to Phoenix, Arizona to attend sound recording and music production seminars. Just last year Montana took another trip to Europe this time performing at a string of venues in 2009. Montana’s most current project is a landmark performance containing various art and music collaborations. Working with several artists including many Latin artists, Montana is transcending borders and boundaries while bridging the gap. He is creating a new international paradigm of playing and creating a new type of world music. Montana’s determination to entertain the world is just a slice of what is going down. Montana is currently, exhibiting art, playing and creating music out of the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA.
