José D. Cruz is a multi-instrumentalist and performer based in Northern NJ. He and Judah have been writing and performing music for almost 5 years now and he and the rest of Dr. Ted have over 5 years of experience playing together. In addition to this, José is a Music Director and Instructor at Porch Light Studio, Stage & School in Glen Rock, NJ, where he’s discovered a love for musical theater performance and instruction. Originally a classically trained pianist, José has since broadened his musical arsenal to include guitar, trumpet, bass, and percussion. He delights in reharmonizing church hymns and playing Runescape in his downtime. José also held a dog for the entirety of Judah’s wedding and it was the highlight of his life.
