Joan Elizabeth Osborne was born on
July 8, 1963, in Anchorage, Kentucky. Her early
desire was filmmaking, which led her to New York
City where she was a film student at New York
University's prestigious film school. Faced with the
daunting task of financing her own education,
circumstances resulted in a lapse in enrollment. It
was during this break that Joan found herself in a
little blues bar singing Billie Holiday's "God Bless
The Child" after a friend's late night dare. The
realization of a great talent was, thus, born.
