Josh also did an interview and performed live on Cleveland’s Z107.9 with Colby Colb on December 17, 2012. Josh performed to several hip-hop songs live and received numerous messages on Twitter while on air from listeners who said they thoroughly enjoyed Josh’s fusion of the classical with the hip-hop.

In 2006, he decided to make a career out of his passion for music. He started playing as a street performer at local venues around Los Angeles. As a street performer Josh engaged the crowd and created his own concert hall by playing pop, jazz, hip hop, country and gospel, with his own improvisational style.
