a life dedicated to sound

Joshua has spent his entire life dedicated to the craft of music. From his debut performance as a 3 year old singing a Christmas song to strangers on a DC metro car, to his first guitar at 9 years old, his first years of lessons, to choirs, middle school rock bands, all the way to music school, recitals, compositions, songwriting, and music production, and professional paid performance… Music has taken him on a completely unforgettable journey.

It is Joshua’s heartfelt wish to share this journey with others, and to provide assistance along the way to those who need it. Whether you’re looking for a teacher, a performer, a producer, a songwriter, or a composer, Joshua has you covered.
