JOSHUA

JOSHUA, 20, artist, entertainer and musician was born into this world to perform.



After opening for Lil’ Romeo at the age of 12, winning several local talent shows, and performing an awe-inspiring saxophone rendition of Purple Rain at the city idol contest, Joshua, at the age of 15, through a home video caught the attention of music executive, David Sonnenberg of DAS Management (The Fugees, Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, John Legend) and was signed with Sony/Columbia/DAS record label to become a part of an up and coming group, Fatty Koo. With this opportunity came a 13 series hit reality television show on BET, Blowin’ Up Fatty Koo, 2005, appearances on Soul Train and BET’s 106 & Park, two nationwide promo-tours, several appearances in magazines such as Billboard, Blender, and Vibe, and a red carpet appearance at the 2005 BET Awards and what would be the beginning of a profound fan base. The group's first single, Bounce, released a video, was featured in the movie Fat Albert, 2004, and was the 2005 NBA Playoff’s song.



A natural entertainer, Joshua draws his musical and creative influences from some of the greats: Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder , Israel Houghton, James Brown and Fred Astaire.



Joshua's many talents include a soaring, soulful vocal range, swift and precise dance moves, sophisticated songwriting, piano prowess and a keen ear for music production. His amazing skills for making his sizzling saxophone sing will make even the truest hip-hop artist go jazz. Joshua’s music would be best described as soulful pop.



Joshua is committed to the highest level of excellence, his morals and upbringing, and silently promotes this by the symbolic wearing of a combination lock on his pants and his signature phrase: lockitup~.



"I am extremely thankful to be able to change lives through the gifts and talents of which God has blessed me.”



This is Joshua.
