Joshua has always believed that Hip Hop is a powerful, positive voice to reach, inspire and encourage young people to express themselves and build their confidence. Hip Hop has a transformative effect particularly for disadvantaged young people. To that end Joshua’s Hip Hop facilitation and workshops throughout the community including in schools, remote communities, regional towns and youth detention centres has allowed him to directly influence so many young peoples lives building trust and confidence, empowering and inspiring positivity for those he works with. Joshua has worked and developed songs with 2 separate acts, The Proud Noongar Boys and INKABEE, with these songs both winning Triple J Unearthed High School Indigenous Awards in 2021 and 2023. Josh continues his work for Youth Mental Health working closely with HeadSpace and other organisations. As a result of this continued work Joshua was awarded the 2024 Young Citizen of the Year for Melville, WA.

Joshua’s belief in the power of Hip Hop was further cemented with his selection as the first representative of Australian Hip Hop to be invited by the U.S State Department to attend the inaugural IVLP (International Visitors Leadership Programme) focusing on Hip Hop and Civic Engagement, where he spent time in the U.S with his peers from Hip Hop around the world advising on how Hip Hop can be transformative as a positive, engaging, uplifting force to inspire young people around the world.
