With over two decades in the industry, millions of streams, and multiple Top 10 radio singles, Josh has built a career on catchy melodies, deep lyrics, and a mission to make people feel less alone.
His newest single, Who's My Neighbor? is a joyful and timely reminder to love everyone, without exception. Inspired by the parable of the Good Samaritan, the chorus says, “Love my neighbor. Who’s my neighbor? Everyone.” The song offers a message of unity and kindness in a divided time, grounded in Josh’s Christian faith and his own journey through addiction, anxiety, and depression. Now eight years sober, he continues to share songs of hope, honesty, and healing for anyone who needs to hear they are not alone.
