Singing has always been part of Joshua's identity, but at eight years old he developed severe and chronic asthma, which kept him hospitalized often. After being prescribed steroids for his condition, Joshua started to rapidly gain weight and became 300 pounds at his heaviest. He was constantly teased for his size and his high voice, but he found his community in choir.
He went on to study music in college, and now gigs with his wife as well as in their family worship band with his parents. Outside of music, he works as a prevention educator where he teaches kids about drug prevention and encourages them to set goals to accomplish what they want. Joshua comes to "The Voice" to heed the advice he tells his students and to chase his own music dreams.
The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's latest season, airing Monday nights on NBC.
Multi-platinum global recording artist, Grammy Award winner and talented actress Ariana Grande claims her red chair alongside superstar coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton as they return for Season 21. Carson Daly returns as host.
