Looking for the right words to say in times of joy and sadness - in love and out of love - in search of or found love - is the journey Joseph Paul Amadeus explores. His works are a culmination of poems written and expressed in mood stages over a period of five decades.

Joseph Paul’s approach transcends feelings, emotions and passions driven by the soundtrack of daily life. Tapping into human expectations, driven by our heart’s desire to be in tune with our mind, he captures the essence of nature playing an important role in our emotional existence. Here he manoeuvres through complex lives, by tapping into the desire for love, romance and acceptance.

As a poet and songwriter, he has successfully been working under the radar for decades thus being described as a myth since he is a writer without a face or image. His written works have been featured in various magazines and recorded works on radio stations internationally.
