The youngest of four brothers, Joshua comes from a long line of talent in his family. His late grandmother, Kitty Chuckles, sang on the radio at age 13.   While waiting tables and singing at age 16, she met her husband, who was a saxophone player for all the big bands in the 40's.  Their daughter Judy, carried on the family legacy and later met Joshua's dad singing in high school.

In 1998, Joshua's music dream was completely destroyed by a trucking accident he had in Encino, CA. Another motorist had gone through a red light and crashed into his big rig. His left arm was caught in the steering wheel and broken in 5 spiral fractures. His arm was left broken for three days until he could get some help from Loma Linda specialists. When he got home he wept with his wife thinking he would never play guitar again.

In 2002, he picked up his guitar and started writing songs again. After some personal struggles, he and his wife  decided to sell their home in Big Bear, CA and go to Nashville, TN. He traveled across the United States with an RV and sang to many along the way. While in Nashville he got to sing at Opry Mills in the Gibson Theatre and sing with musicians that backed people like Garth Brooks and George Strait. He met and learned from the most talented writers and musicians from all over the USA. He also recorded his Cowboy Romance demo.

After Joshua returned he started the band Sojourner. They went on a songwriting binge and wrote over a dozen songs together touching many people along the way.  They toured for a year, got played and interviewed on 99.5 KKLA.
