From being on the X factor to acting in various roles such as Friday Night Lights, to Nickelodeon to Disney, is there anything this young Houstonian can’t do? To answer that, you probably didn’t know he is the singer behind the viral song “Birthday Dance”. Gaining notoriety in a short span of time, babies, teens, young adults, even the older generation can be seen on social media literally dancing to this hit!

Starting his career in 2009, acting in the television series Friday Night Lights, it’s safe to say that he’s not new to this, he’s true to this. A finalist on the season The X factor USA, Josh proved to the national stage that he had a God-given talent, advancing to the top 8, before releasing his debut single, “Trying to Find You” in 2014. In 2021, he signed to Issa Rae’s Raedio and Atlantic Records, releasing his other hit, “NASA”, as well as the music video. But don’t think for one second he stopped acting. He lent his voice to Disney’s Pixar Turning Red  as the voice of Aaron Z from the boy band in the film. He continued the star-studded success when he made his very first Billboard Hot 100 hit with Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell co-written “Nobody Like You” from the film’s soundtrack, which peaked at an astounding #49. June of 2022, he released the remixed version of “Don’t They” featuring another Houston artist, Normani, from the EP DISC TWO.

Continuing the success, he released the deluxe of the EP with the same name, DISC TWO ( SCRATCHED UP) that features the viral hit “Birthday Dance”.

Fast-forwarding to today, the 25-year old has released the video for the iconic hit, and let’s just say, with 4.7M views and counting from the audio alone, he’s showing us why he is here to stay. Choreography, style, lyricism, and more, is there anything this young man can’t do?
