My name is Joel. I am 23 years old. I believe in God. I am far from perfect, but by grace I am forgiven. I have my dream job, and that job is singing in a band called This Century. We get to travel the world, play music and meet amazing people. I co-own a clothing line called KAN Apparel with my brother and best friend, Mark. We make products that benefit different charities in hopes to help those in need and to inspire positive action in the world around us. I strongly dislike rudeness and pessimism. I am an animal lover. I am a pescetarian. On this site, I post things that are on my mind and things that I like. I hope you enjoy some of it. Thanks.

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. -Abraham Lincoln

I have to share my excitement! Three things:

1. New This Century music soon! Tell everyone you know!

2. Arizona is getting a rain storm!

3. I’ve discovered the classical music radio stations on iTunes. These Mozart channels are amazing. I’ve struck gold!

I would love to go back in time and tell the 15-year-old me that one day I’d be playing here.

new This Century soon…

I’m so excited about the future of This Century. We’ve got so many good things in store for you. We get to release new music soon, which is something I’ve been waiting to do for way too long! It’s like trying to keep an amazing secret that you want to tell everyone. The new music is a nice, refreshing step forward…a new side of This Century. I know you’re going to enjoy it. Everything is going to be good. We’re ready for the next chapter. I’ve got the fire burning in me now more than it ever has before. I hope you’re all ready to come along for the ride!

Stay well & stay patient, new music is almost here!

P.S. Do me the hugest favor and tell one new person about This Century today. Tweet me if you succeed, I want to hear about it!

This is a surprise for the band, i traveled to Curitiba (is in another state from where i live) on friday to meet some fans and friends of them, and they wanted to show some love! We really want This Century in Brazil, hope this can happen as soon as possible! 

I had some problems with youtube, so click on this link to watch the video with subtitles: http://www.universalsubtitles.org/pt-br/videos/9F1gFHp9FtuW/info/

Don’t know most of what they’re saying, but this is so cool! I hope we can tour to Brazil soon!

I am awake.

Here’s what’s been going on lately: recording and recording and recording. Some recording for little projects and some recording for much bigger projects. I’ve kind of been off the map lately for this reason, but I promise that good things are on the way. I couldn’t be prouder of the work that’s come out of these past few months and I’m sure the other guys in the band feel exactly the same.

Anyway, since I haven’t posted much on here lately I’m going to try to answer five questions every day for the next five days (starting tomorrow), so make ‘em count! Here’s the link to the ask page: http://joelkanitz.com/ask

Sorry again for not being as present as usual. Hope all of you are well! Big things coming.

This is a photo a friend took from our acoustic performance at Apple. I wanted to share it.
Sure, the face I’m making is pretty funny…but even better is the fact that the Apple employee behind me looks like he wants me dead.

Finally getting back into the studio tomorrow to track vocals on some new songs. We’ve got a great batch of new tunes…I feel really good about these ones. Wish I could show them to everyone right now, but that will have to wait. Hope everyone’s day is going well!

Found this looking through saved photos. On the set of our “Sound Of Fire” video shoot. Oh, the memories.

This is just great…haha. The Tim & Eric show is probably the reason why This Century has such a weird sense of humor.
