Goodhearts
Joey “O” and C.B. Goodheart were born and raised in New York city. Both have their music degrees in theory and have been playing in and out of Rock and Top 40 bands for many years. The Goodhearts were formed in the early '90s out of necessity: tired of putting up with musicians who come and go, Joey “O” and C.B. Goodheart came together and formed a two-piece sequenced band. They set up a studio in New York and went to work. It proved to be the perfect combination, like Lennon and McCartney.
he strong lead vocal of C.B. Goodheart in “The Song” will keep you glued to the speakers. The reggae rock of “Lunatick” through the easy listening style of “Music is the Answer” to the jazz style of “Infinity,” the Goodhearts believe that music should make you feel, not angry or mad, but good.

He moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1994, Detroit in 1997, and found himself doing small shows all around the city. In 1998, when he was shot, he knew someone had given him a second chance at life. He used it to pursue his dream — music. He recorded and went on tour with the Gospel Gangsters, opening for LL Cool J. He then moved on to Gospel Rap.
