Joseph Hylander is a songwriter in the tradition of John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, and Elliott Smith. He was born and raised in Southern California and proud to call Hawthorne, California his home. (Hawthorne = birth place of The Beach Boys).  He finds inspiration in ordinary things and can turn the mundane into a more interesting dreamscape.  His youth and education was spent touring and in the recording studio trying to perfect the art of writing, arranging, and composing music.  He picked up the guitar at the age of 12 after first hearing The Beatles, "Rubber Soul" and has now been playing for over 16 years.  He has toured as far north as Seattle, Washington and far east as Austin, Texas (participating in the South By South West Music Festival 3 years in a row) with his band E>K>U>K.  E>K>U>K was popular in the Los Angeles area and along with Joseph had songs featured in major motion picture soundtracks and on network television.  Joseph recently released his debut album, "Joseph Hylander".
