THE MAN BEHIND THE MUSIC...

THE MESSAGE- “Answering the call of purity in Word, Deed and Truth.” Outside of the screams, the lights, the cameras and the action, Joshua has taken a stand. Joshua stands for integrity, to not compromise his beliefs, and a stand for purity. Joshua refuses to use profanity and degrading music in his lyrics. Through his music and lifestyle, Joshua’s goal is to stamp the fingerprint of purity on to his generation and generations to come. This desire birthed forth C.B.T.P. (Call Back to Purity) and created a movement to promote to today’s world the message of living a lifestyle set apart for purity. “It’s not just a movement,” says Joshua. “It’s a lifestyle. A new genre of music bringing a message to the masses in a mainstream way.” Symbolic of Joshua’s commitment to this movement, he wears a combination lock on his belt loop, lockitup~, a reminder and encouragement to others to save oneself until marriage. Promoting a message of abstinence and celibacy of self worth and value, and not of condemnation, Joshua desires to musically change the world and let everyone know that they are worth the wait.

C.B.T.P. a movement that Joshua knows can effect the masses in a positive way
