In an unassuming suburb just outside of Detroit, known to the world as Mt. Clemens, lies a breeding stable for a whole new brand of music. This is where it all begins, where stars are made. Such greats as Eminem, Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, and now the new kid on the block, JoCaine, but don't get me wrong, Jo has been around a long time and has paid his dues, so make way for the East Side's newest King, "JoCaine", cause he's stepping up to the plate to hit the next home run for the team. JoCaine, known to his family and friends as Joe Binki, didn't start out in Mt. Clemens. In fact he started off when he was a young buck, running the streets of good ole Hazel Tucky. With his country mannerisms, you'd be surprised to catch Jo anywhere near a city. He has a humble approach to the world, and possesses a magnetic personality that draws people in from all walks of life. "I just say it like I see it, no sugar coating here, "Caine says. Jo's original intentions in the world definately weren't to persue a music career. Jo says, "I always wanted to be a pro football player. In fact thats how I got my name JoCaine", he commented. An All-American Tight End in college, "It was like a hurricane when I had the ball in my hands" so a couple guys on the team put the Caine with Jo, and there you go. Growing up, I would come home from school as a little guy, I'd hear mom playing them oldie but goodies, all the Motown greats, like the Supremes, Four Tops, I mean the list goes on........"I would start in singing and dancing the parts along with my mom, that was it, I was hooked on music from there on out. I guess I get my musical back ground from my mom. Don't get me wrong my dad bought me my first guitar when I was like 6, trying to enter me in talent shows and stuff like that. My dad was more into country, George Jones, Conway Twitty, to greats now such as, Travis Tritt, Brooks and Dunn, and we can't forget about Elvis. I began recording my own stuff at a very young age, taking my influences and incorperating them into one; country with rock, blues with oldies, and then worked it in with pop, and cant forget about that good ole southern rock....etc. JoCaine first had a record deal with a label called Life/Belmark Records, responsible for the success of Tag Team. Tag Team had the hit song "Whoop there it is". Jo found himself opening for greats such as, R. Kelly, Brian McKnight, and Tag Team, all over the South. Daytona Beach Spring Break, the FreakNic, Alt, GA, 250,000+ people. Back then Jo says, I was more into RUN DMC, The Beastie Boys, I mean who wasn't....but with internal dilemmas and family issues, Jo decided to put his dreams on hold, and continuing his dream at a more approriate time. After a three year hiatus from music, he decided to pick up the pen again and start doing what Jo does best, writing music that people love. This time Jo says he wanted a full band, Country/Rock/Pop. He said he was on a mission to find the best musicians in town, and form a band that kicked some major ass. The first link I picked up was a good high school friend of mine, K.D. Jo states, "this guys is one of the best or if not the best bass player in town, and he just so happens to be a good friend of mine" K.D. dropped a few names of other top musicians in the area that may be available, and the search was on. Picking up such greats as, "The Wizzard" on drums, "Gash" on guitar, "Pistol Pete/Peter Keys" on Keys, "Tricky Ricky" on guitar. These last couple links made up a band thats now called, "75 NORTH" (The name "75 North" was chosen because....in our old hometown, you could throw a rock and hit I-75, and now matter where you're from and you get on 75 North, you end up in the good ole RockCity State, Michigan) JoCaine has independently sold over 5,500 units in his time. JoCaine has had several songs on tv shows and movie soundtracks, such as "LoneStar State of Mind", "Laurel Canyon", and songs featured on the newest hit TV show, CSI. (Crime Story Investigation) JoCaine and 75 North now are finishing up on a world class album entitled, "Piggy Back Ride" Jo says, "This album if given the right opportunity, will be a multi-platinum selling album, and another great album and artist out of Detroit. They have already gained national recognition from major labels throughout the country.
