JJosh's version of the song was arranged and produced by Grammy Award winning pianist, Lannie Battistini under the Hands in Motion Music label. "I am a fan of Lukas Graham and related to this song from the first time I heard it. That's why I chose this song as my first single. I just added that touch of R&B which is in my soul," says JJosh.

During his first public performance his mother recalls how he "wowed the audience" with his rendition of Boogie Wonderland, sustaining the high pitch notes. Since 2012, he's been an active member of Revealing Truth Ministries Voices of Legacy Choir and has had the privilege to lead the choir for special concerts, performances, and mission trips.Videos
