Josh Olusanya is a London-based R&B singer/songwriter who is very proud of his multi-heritage background and queer identity. Josh’s music is a celebration of self-acceptance and emotional depth, weaving together the rich influences of reggae, soul, and soft rock with the timeless comfort of R&B.

From a young age, Josh was drawn to the power of music as a form of expression and connection. Inspired by the vocal brilliance of artists like Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, and Toni Braxton, as well as the masterful production of legends like Darkchild and Babyface, Josh developed a unique approach to songwriting and performance. His additional influences - ranging from the soulful and uplifting grooves of India.Arie and Bob Marley to the storytelling of Gerry Rafferty and Bryan Ferry - have shaped his distinct and captivating sound.

Josh’s artistry is defined by his joy in experimenting with vocal textures and techniques, creating a dynamic sound that keeps listeners enthralled. His music explores themes of love, self-discovery and resilience, reflecting his own journey with pride and vulnerability. For Josh, music isn’t just a craft - it’s his reason for being. Writing, creating, and performing bring him immeasurable joy - a passion he conveys to audiences through every note and lyric.

Whether in his home studio or on stage, Josh’s dedication to his artistry is undeniable. With his rich blend of influences and heartfelt storytelling, he invites listeners into a world where authenticity and emotion take centre stage, leaving a lasting impression on all who hear him.

After his guest performance in February at BLN-LIVE: SPEAKEASY PO'JAM, Josh was invited to return on a regular basis as a resident of the event.
