[ Ссылка ] Growing up, singer-songwriter Joshua Howard was always around music. His dad was a choir director and Joshua was often pulled in to play drums for the choir. On one occasion while driving in the car, they were listening to “Oh Happy Day”, from the Sister Act 2 movie, and Joshua sang out a particularly high note in the song. Impressed with his son’s ability to sing, his dad had him sing that song with the choir, and from there Joshua was hooked into music, both singing and playing the drums.

He knew that he was different and that music was was his way to continue to find his own voice. Not liking the idea of a 9-to-5 desk job, Joshua believed that his God-abilities were a gift to him and he knew he needed to find a way to use them. “I didn’t get into it for the money…I just love what I do.”

As it is for many singers and musicians, open mics were one of the main ways Joshua began playing his music around Pennsylvania. One particular coffee house, Steel City Coffee House, was where he did many open mics and eventually did his first show there as well. His music influences showed up in his songs then and continue to do so today. When asked who those influences are, Joshua instantly mentions legendary singer-songwriter James Taylor. With his father a huge fan of JT, Joshua became one too, to this day. Amos Lee is another singer-songwriter who Joshua is inspired by and who influences his music and writing.

One of the more recent songs that sticks out in Joshua’s mind that he wants to share with everyone is “In It Together”, a song he co-wrote with fellow songwriter Marielle Kraft. It’s an inspiration and true meaning lie in the fact that we truly are all “in it together” and that love and kindness are the basis of all of us sharing and co-living this life together on early. Check it out on Spotify!

One of the main challenges Joshua had on his trip to Nashville for a gig recently was driving straight through from Pennsylvania to Nashville, by himself. “It took a toll on me, I didn’t get rest and it was hard on me to do the show.” He got through it with the help of Vocal Eze throat spray! A singers throat spray with natural ingredients to soothe and protect the throat, he sprayed about 5 sprays into the back of his throat and said, “The taste was very good….it was very soothing, and I could taste the honey.”

Being a huge Manuka honey fan, Joshua is working on integrating the Vocal Eze vocal wellness remedies into his everyday life, whether he is playing a live show or going into the studio, to continue to support his vocals and give him a healthy vocal response. He likes having a wellness routine and is making Vocal Eze a part of it!
