As the grand prize winner, Joseph will receive an exclusive recording session in Open Jar Studios' state-of-the-art Vocal Recording Booth, guided by the expertise of Award-winning engineer Dan Wiener. This session will not only showcase Joseph's outstanding vocal talent but also be captured on video, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creative process.

With features like a 5' x 7' isolation vocal booth and high-quality audio gear, it's the perfect setting for Joseph to bring his artistry to life.
