WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
I heard Malibu Joe’s songs for the first time on AMP radio and I immediately loved them!! His story is also so intriguing and inspiring. You go Malibu Joe! I’ll be first in line to buy your cd.
Inspiring…
Let’s see now how far this energy of his will take him, and how many he will bring along with him.
But my instincts tell me he already has conquered many hearts and will keep on doing so, with no limits!
Beautiful article.
Beautiful artist.
I believe!!
To Gabriela: Are you really going to be the first in line? You’ll have to get up really early, fight me, and then get rid of my body!!!
Seriously, Malibu Joe, you’re the best. Give us more love plz
Yesterday someone send me a link to Carson Daly’s morning show that brought so much light to my day I still feel a strange energy buzzing through my body. On his show yesterday, Carson Daly introduced Malibu Joe‘s music (Joe Mansour Sow) and had a great story to tell along with it. But then again Joe is the kind of character that any true Westside Angeleno has at least one story to share.
I remember when I first met Joe, it was more than 12 years ago in Malibu, I was 14 and sitting on the grass with my best friend drinking a Coffee Bean and there he was…beautiful, charming, stylish, and always smiley Joe Mansour Sow. He introduced himself as Malibu Joe, it all seemed quite surreal to me at the time. The whole paparazzi thing was not what it is today, it was a lot more intriguing, he was intriguing.
I remember going to The Creek (Malibu Cross Creek) any chance I got to see this Malibu Joe and dip into his wisdom and energy. I was fascinated by his stories and the way he told them. He as always been much more of a star to me than most of the people he shoots, but everything in life has its order. And maybe his time to shine as a musician has come. The plug that Carson Daly did on him yesterday was serious and super sincere, I just wonder how far it will take him.
I lost touch with Joe for 6 years or so when I moved to NY but was re introduced to him years later by Mr. Trendland, who had found a similar intrigue in him and a great friend. In the past years we have shared great times with Joe and watched him struggle through this zoo of a paparazzi world to survive doing what he really loves, music.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
i agree4
