Josh Osho, the south London singer has been praised from all angles over recent years, with comparisons to the likes of 'a grittier John Legend, or an unplugged seal' by the Guardian, with the BBC crediting: 'his husky tone and honest lyrics makes him a gem in the UK pop scene'.
Josh has had a bumpy introduction to the music scene. After his parents split up Josh turned to a life of crime, slept on the streets and landed in the notorious Ebenezer Hotel. One of the lowest days for Josh was going out to the shops, only to return to find that everything he had was stolen, apart from his prized worn out guitar, a lifeline that later saw him sign with Island Records after spotting his raw talent.
Josh performed a unique cover of Adele’s ‘someone like you’ on SB.TV which instantly earned the respect of the music industry. Since then he has performed on ‘Later...with Jools Holland’, ’BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge’ and at some of the most important venues on the music map, notably performing a surprise duet with none other than the great Tom Jones at a gig at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Josh’s Latest single release ‘Freewheel’ is an upbeat uplifting offering of pop/acoustic soul. It helps you look on the brighter side when things don’t seem to be going your way; Just like Josh did. Josh has turned his life around and at only 22 is beaming with talent. A definite one to watch out for!
Osho's latest album L.I.F.E is available on i-tunes, which features his new release ‘Freewheel’.
