Combining honest songwriting with an infectious dark pop sound, JOSHUA is an artist unafraid to explore complex emotions.
Hailing from the west-coast town of Mandurah, Australia, the art-teacher-turned-songwriter follows in the footsteps of Troye Sivan, 5SOS, Thomston and Charlie Puth, using songwriting to process and distill his emotional landscape. With the advent of acts like Lorde, Banks and Flume, JOSHUA taught himself music production and songwriting, with only YouTube and his instincts to guide him, developing a knack for catchy hooks and manipulating sounds to draw in his listeners.
Since the beginning, JOSHUA has striven to craft a musical identity all his own, where his songs are heavy with cinematic imagery and unconventional rhymes, taking his listeners on a dynamic journey. Obsessed with duality, JOSHUA thrives in the push-pull nature of life experiences, pairing straight-from-the-heart lyrics with crystalline synths, thumping beats and dark gritty basslines.
JOSHUA has garnered media coverage from HappyMag, The Music, AusPop, AAA Backstage, Buzz Magazine, Plastic Magazine, Pop Passion, Illustrate Magazine, triple j unearthed, and Australian Music Scene, and boasts collaborations with MSQUARED (Casey Barnes, C.WATTS), Cam Nacson (Samantha Jade, Sian Fuller), Janeva Burrill (Glades, Alex Newell) and Rahel Phillips (Ruel, Billy Davis), Chelsea Warner (Emalia, Ūla), Cyrus Villanueva (Charley, Cody Jon) and ETHAN (Isadora).
A creative powerhouse, JOSHUA writes, produces, mixes, has shot and edited his own past promotional photos, designs all his own branding and merch, and creates social media and visual assets. JOSHUA is set to become a force to be reckoned with.
