Stone’s Mom opens Music Academy
Joss’s mom, Wendy Joseph has opened a music academy in Devon, England.
Joss is still in good relations with her mom, although she no longer is her manager. Joss fired her mom as her manager earlier this year after learning she was having an affair with her drummer/music director.
At that point, I just had to send my mom home. She took care of me and did a good job, but it was time for me to move on.
“It’s ridiculous having your mother manage you. I said so at the time, but no one wanted to listen to me.
“I wanted a real manager, someone with 30 years in the business. Not my mom.
“We’re still very tight, and anything she needs, she has it.”
Mama Stone’s Song Writing and Studio Music Academy is run jointly by Wendy and her husband Jonathan Joseph, who was Joss’s musical director and drummer.
Wendy said: “Having spent three years travelling around the world as Joss’s manager I learnt a lot about the music industry and I am always being asked by people in the area for advice and tips.
“That’s why we decided to launch this academy so that over four weeks we can help people gain skills to help launch their music careers.”
The academy even has its own website, where they are definitely using Joss’s fame as a selling point.
