About None Like Joshua

Hello there. My name is Josh. My mission and unique purpose is to combine poetic and imaginative lyricism with electronic dance music, which includes genres like trip-hop, glitch-hop, dubstep, dance, electro, electronica, hardstyle, and many more. When I am too old to rap, I would like to become a teacher and inspire younger generations to pursue music and gain a thorough insight into the business side of music. When I was growing up, I wanted to be taught what I know today, which is why I do my best to interact with my audience on levels that not many other artists can reach.
What also sets me apart from other artists is my accessibility: I give rap lessons, answer my social network comments and questions, write custom songs for my listeners, and I give help when it is needed. Most artists, I feel, do not make enough effort to really teach their audience how to be like them. Perhaps, artists are afraid of creating competition, but I see it as pure laziness. Real artists cannot just focus on making music anymore, we need to be human. I like to focus on making music while being human and engaging my listeners in my endeavors.
Aside from interacting with my audience, I produce, engineer, and write my own music as well, which you can download on the home page of nonelikejoshua.com. You could probably tell I’m a bit of a control freak (which I am). I also create rap remixes to my favorite instrumental songs, which have helped me gain +4,000,000 views on YouTube as of February 2012, and it is only growing. These strategies have been working well, as I have worked with EDM producers from around the world (UK, Germany, Canada, France, South Africa, Italy, Chile, Sweden, Australia, Norway) and with record labels like Play Me Too, Monstercat Media, Shake Your Ass, On A Break Digital, and Revealed Recordings.
I created None Like Joshua in the fall of 2008, and my music is finally becoming a sustainable model and the standard for combining indie hip-hop with EDM. In the winter of 2011, I graduated from Loyola University of New Orleans with a Bachelor’s of Science in Music Business and created a successful business model while retaining my values in insightful lyricism with accessible electronic music. I could not be more thankful for all of my listeners who have helped spread my music like wildfire. Much appreciation goes to the big youtubers who have featured or posted my music like Ephixa, Slyfoxhound, Bonesaw, Swedish Meal Time, Flux Pavilion, and everyone that uses my music in their projects. It means the world to me.
My vision is to be able to travel the world and perform. With enough time, marketing, and content, I want to turn what I see on the screen into a reality. With the help of my graphics designer, Asherz Designs, I usually release one or two song-videos a week for my listeners, yet I can still find the time to teach someone how to have a flow like the ones who have influenced me: Buck 65, Sage Francis, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Jedi Mind Tricks, A Tribe Called Quest, Atmosphere, B. Dolan, Themselves and more.
Some find it difficult to label my music, especially with the name itself. Some call it nerdcore, dubrap, rapstep, electro-hop, indie rap, but as long as you enjoy it, I don’t really care what you label it. I just want you to hear a story you have never heard before and words you never thought could blend with EDM. Too many EDM rappers sound the same and don’t care enough to help their listeners understand how to be like them. I am here to break down that wall between the listener and the artist. Talk to me, learn from me, delve into my mind as I refuse to cover it up with braggadocio and sedation like other EDM vocalists. I am a human being like you. I feel, experience, share, and imagine. I want my music to show that I am not afraid to explore psychology, philosophy, alternate realties and dimensions. I only create what I enjoy as a human being.
Thank you for your time and if you have any other questions, check out nonelikejoshua.com/faq or e-mail me at josh@nonelikejoshua.com, and I hope to see you on your side of the world soon. Until then…
