About Josiff
Josiff's journey into the world of musical performance began as humbly as any other greenhorn bard: catching gigs at any open stage or Aetheryte plaza at his disposal. He would eventually upgrade to some open mic night appearances at venues such as Bards & Brews, where he'd eventually take his very first booking, and the Amore Musicale.
It's at the Amore where Josiff would first encounter his future bandmate, partner, and muse, Scarletta Vendetta. The two had a few mostly silent brushes past one another in venues, but the ice was finally broken at the Amore's Classic Rock Fest, where both parties would be performing: Josiff as his solo act, and Scarletta as part of the newly-formed Midnyght Morning.
His first big break as a soloist came from his performances at Eorzea's Got Talent Season 3. Josiff entered the competition as a relative nobody, simply latching onto the opportunity to play. To his surprise, he'd manage to claw his way into the final round through a combination of his music, performative costume changes, and parody lyrics inspired by Scarletta and her past EGT performances. Bested by only a handful of votes, his passion for barding was ignited with his runner-up finish.
Though EGT would mark Josiff's last major solo appearance for some time, he continued to hone his skills as a soloist between gigs with Midnyght Morning at venues such as Bubble Tea Lounge, A Cat's Terrace, Thirsty Suzaku, and a number of other establishments. Though playing shows with his bandmates keeps him busy nowadays, Josiff still finds plenty of time to return to some of his old haunts, eager to continue refining his skills even on his own.
Josiff's Music
All of my solo songs are my own personal edits, either edited from the ground up as a solo, or derived from an edit I previously created for larger ensembles. As you can see, I play a bit of everything from older school rock, to punk, to video game tunes, and all kinds of other stuff.
