What's going on! So glad that you're here.... just wanted to tell you a little about myself. My name is Joe Haskins and I was born in 1987 and raised in Virginia. In the past I have found some folks think things about me before they get to know me. Bottom line, I'm just a country boy that loves to entertain.

In 2007 I wrote and recorded my first album "Lyrically Enhanced". It was a lot of work but not bad for my first try on my own. I've been in music since I was really young. In 1999 I was in a competition at South Square Mall in NC. There were A LOT of talented people competing for the prize but I won an all expense paid trip to New York to appear on the Apollo. That was an awesome experience.

My first appearance at the Apollo was filmed in August of 1999. I was invited to come back in January of 2000. I danced to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and received a standing ovation on both occasions. I won 1st place in the WBTM's Rising Star Talent Show in 1999, 2000, and 2001. In 2008 I was invited back to perform and had a ball.

I have performed in San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and in DC. August 2006 I won a slot to compete in the Russ Parr Bus Tour Ciara Dance Off Finals in DC held at the Lincoln Theater.

Along the way, I have met some amazing people such as Steve Harvey, KiKi Shepherd, Tia and Tamera, Nick Cannon, Drew Carey, Q-tip, Young Joc, 8 ball and MJG, Sammie, Ciara, and many, many others and I would like to add you to that list.

Later,
