Yamaha Pianist, William Joseph Plays for Reality Royalty

NASHVILLE, TN (March 3, 2005) — William Joseph wrote his first composition at five. Since then, he wrote the theme song for the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes, composed "Seeds of Hope" for the benefit of rebuilding Kosovo and now he is entering the realm of reality television.

Joseph's reputation as a phenomenal pianist is quickly growing. The Yamaha pianist tours and performs with such artists as Natalie Cole and Reba McIntyre. Joseph plays the Yamaha C7 and collaborates with many other Yamaha artists like Rod Stewart and Josh Groban. His style of music has already captivated a new audience.

"Think classical pop, cinematic orchestrations over cool programming." Said Joseph on his musical style.

Joseph's next performance is on the new reality series, I Married a Princess. The series stars real-life married couple, Casper Van Dien and Catherine Oxenberg and premieres on Lifetime Channel. Van Dien (Starship Troopers ) and Oxenberg (Dynasty) have been married for five years. They share five children from three different relationships. The series also boasts the relationship's royal connection. Oxenberg's mother is the HRH Princess Elizabeth of Serbia and Montenegro. Lifetime expects the show to follow MTV's Newlywed's success and spotlight how the couple deals with Hollywood, royalty, the kids and the royal in-laws.

Joseph and his Yamaha C7 premiere on April 18, 2005, on the Lifetime Channel. Tune in for great music, wedded reality and royal entertainment.
