All over the world, there are good people working tirelessly to nurture, support, and protect young or disadvantaged lives. Joshua has been blessed to have met many of them and had the honor to work with many amazing kids, being welcomed as a friend.
Joshua gets more out of this than anyone else, so these selfish acts will continue whole heartedly, long into the future.

Music is an intuitive and healing energy. It flows freely through the hearts of those who invite it.
With no natural talent and no official training, Joshua invited music to flow through, to guide him, and to drive him for decades. Any accolades in this realm belong to the teams that worked hard on each project, every step of the way, not to the singular person.
