Chosen as one of six artists to participate in Strathmore’s Artist in Residence program in 2022-2023, Joshua has been an active and innovative part of DC’s jazz scene since 2019. Deeply rooted in the American jazz tradition, but never ceasing to innovate and experiment, Joshua leans on influences from Brazil, Cuba, West Africa and the French Caribbean, as well as the sounds of R&B, neo-soul, and funk. A proud alum of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C., he holds a Bachelor’s of Music from Temple University, where he studied classical Piano Performance.

As an active session musician, Joshua has been featured on records such as Kemi Adegoroye’s For the Record (2021, arranger and keyboards) and Taisha Estrada’s Nostalgia Ajena (2023, piano). Alongside fellow Ellington students, he has performed on stage at the Kennedy Center and Strathmore Music Center with artists such as Ledisi, Patti LaBelle, and Sting.

Joshua was the Jazz Ensemble Director of CAAPA (the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts) from 2018 to 2020. As a graduate of the Strathmore Artist in Residence (AIR) program, he continues to have a strong relationship with that institution and its stunning array of talent. Most recently, in both May 2025 and February 2026, Joshua headlined performances at the historic Blues Alley jazz club in Washington, D.C.
