If you haven’t heard of Joshua yet, it’s time to tune in. Hailing from the quaint English town of Bury St. Edmunds but now calling the States home, Joshua has spent the last six years crafting a unique sound that effortlessly blends folk, soul, and acoustic elements. His music isn’t just a collection of melodies; it’s an exploration of human emotion and spirituality, deeply rooted in his love for the flamenco guitar and his experiences with classical guitar training under a South Carolina Philharmonic maestro.
Over his career, Joshua has hit some impressive milestones. His journey kicked off with the signing of his first contract for movie sound design and a sync placement, marking his official entry into the industry. His collaborations with platinum and Grammy-nominated artists in Atlanta further cemented his position in the music world.
His latest release, 7th DAY OFF, is an evocative piece that continues to showcase his artistic depth. The track is a soulful homage to the concept of rest and reflection, inspired by the biblical commandment of taking a sabbatical on the seventh day. Joshua describes it as capturing the essence of that “7th day off” feeling—a blend of vacation bliss and the inevitable return to everyday life. It’s a reminder of the peace that faith can bring, even amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily routines.
The music video for 7th DAY OFF is as breathtaking as the song itself. Shot in stunning 4K resolution with a drone in Cape Town, South Africa, it adds a visual layer to the song’s introspective narrative. The lush landscapes and serene visuals perfectly complement Joshua’s ethereal sound.
