Joseph R Monasterial is a Singer-Songwriter and Acoustic Guitarist based in the Washington DC area.  He grew up in Montgomery County, MD and started performing as a local musician since he was 16 years old. Being close to family, friends and meeting so many loving, supportive people encouraged him even more to go after his dream.  He is musically talented, humble and quite shy but can easily write a song when inspired.  His first song “I’ve Always Wondered” is a song he sang just a few times and among several other songs remained tucked away.  The songs, “Hold Me Down,” “Got To Let Go” and “June” have gained so much appreciation from his audiences.  After graduating college in May 2021, he gave himself a year to pursue music and in May 2022, he chose music as his full-time career.  May 2022 marks the crossroad of the uncertainties of following his dream and the determination to push forward and be happy in life.  2023 and 2024 proved to be challenging years yet, bringing joy to himself and everyone who supports and loves him.  He is hoping that 2025 will be the year of his dream come true!
