Originally trained as an actor at Drama Centre, London (1979-82). In 2005, Joseph completed a research MA at the University of Brighton with his installation "The Family Album" - a reflective narrative combining spoken word and binaural location recording.

As a sound designer and composer in the theatre, Joseph won the 1992 Carling London Fringe Award for his work on "The Ballad of the Limehouse Rat" by Tim Newton. Recent composition work includes the soundtrack for a Friday Play "Full Blown" on BBC Radio 4, and the title theme and incidental music for a documentary series for ITV Meridian, "St Dunstans".

His work has been broadcast on Framework on Resonance FM, also on Aaron Ximm's One Minute Vacation.
