Joshua is a uniquely talented and emerging singer, musician, songwriter, and recording artist from England, currently living in Southern California.
Josh is a solo artist whose music falls mostly into the Pop category with Electronic and Synthpop touches and clear influences from Soul, R&B, Jazz, and Blues, which reflect Josh’s expansive interest and exposure to a wide variety of musical styles and genres.
Josh has an engaging and deeply personal vocal and lyrical style that his listeners can easily relate to, and he complements this with a natural ear for music. He plays the piano, guitar, and drums as part of his ensemble of musical talent. He combines these elements into a signature songwriting and music producing style. On a personal level, he’s a deep feeling person in touch with the world around him and this comes through in the varied song styles and relatable nature of his music.
As a solo artist, Josh might initially bring to mind artists like Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Charlie Puth, OneRepublic, Bruno Mars, and Maroon 5. However, Josh has a unique and engaging style that is all his own and it is easily distinguishable from these elite artists.
Josh showed an aptitude for music at an early age, starting with an eerie ability to play the drums competently as a young child. As he got older his innate ability began to express itself in a variety of interesting ways, with his instrumental ability expanding to the piano and guitar. It also expressed itself in the interesting way he had of connecting with the underlying harmonies and instrumentals in a song rather than the primary vocals and melody.
Josh released his first well received song, Doubts, on all streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, in September 2021, and his second song, reminiscent of the Beach Boys sound, Sweetness was released that December. Josh's Pop hit Urge was released in March 2022, to the thrill of fans (you'll want to check out the YouTube video), and he followed that up with the chill and haunting sounds of Twisted in April. His fifth song, Poetic was released on October 28th, 2022, and perhaps represents his best effort to date, reflecting a unique blend of smooth neo-soul and chill electro-pop flavors. He is currently in the studio working on an album with several songs nearing completion. These songs complement his recent releases nicely with a variety of moods, rhythms, life issues, and musical styles. They are sure to touch every emotion
A recent reviewer for online radio had this to say about Josh and his song Doubts…
“Led by a strikingly expressive and accomplished lead vocal performance by Joshua Canonge and backed by a superb crisp modern pop production that can confidently stand amongst the popular artists of today, "Doubts" is an incredibly melodic and eloquent offering that combines a brilliant arrangement with a keen eye for detail, the result is a remarkably engaging track that is highly-listenable and marvelously replayable.”
