Inspired by the auditory character of asian contemporary jazz, fusion, and classical artists as Kie Katagi, Hiromi Uehara, and Nahre Sol, and featuring both vocal lyrics and spoken word in Tagalog and Filipino-Indigenous Ibaloi, the Edmonton pianist and composer consolidates his western musical identity in the jazz and classical genres with his Indigenous Filipino roots.

Joshua would like to acknowledge that his career in playing Black American Music is
possible because of the Black musicians that have and continue to pave the way for all jazz
musicians. He acknowledges and is grateful for the privilege that has allowed him to practice and
enjoy the music of this African-American cultural tradition.
