Joe knew his true calling early on in life, and his career has been a remarkable progression. After picking up drumsticks for the first time at the age of 9, Riott began to hone his talents, seeking to learn as much about his craft as possible.Following several years of lessons, practice and study, he emerged as one of the most sought after time keepers in the business.

Riott's exposure on the New Jersey music scene both in the clubs and studio has been widespread. The bands and artists he has played with can attest to the range of his abilities. Most notable has been his work with the groups Foxxie, Blue Anjel, Illicitt, Blackwolf, Vero, KillerElite and Ace Frehly's Comet.

Runaway reunites Riott with former band mate and frontman Elvio Nardi from Foxxie.

Since joining Runaway Joe has added yet another chapter in his already respected musical career. The driving force behind the nation's most sought after Bon Jovi tribute band "The Riott" has once again reached the top of the heap.
