Joshua Scales has always had a passion for music and performing since a very young age; the 28-year-old Dayton, OH. native grew up being intrigued, and inspired by "the Motown Sound" by his father. He would emulate his favorite groups and artists, and sang in choir throughout school, and in church. It was after he was introduced to the Christian music genre by his Godmother, that he began to write and perform raps as well. He was inspired by a Christian rap artist by the name of T-BONE.
Following various local talent show performances, Scales was also bit by the acting bug in high school, and participated in plays and musicals; this proceeded into collegiate and community theater.
He gained confidence in the development of his vocal ability from his performances in the musicals; it was then that he decided to bring singing back to the forefront. In February of 2013, Joshua witnessed a passion for God gathered in one place like he had never seen before; it was at the critically-acclaimed annual Christian music tour, WINTERJAM. A more relatable, and contemporary sound in the music sparked something in him through the likes of artists such as: ROYAL TAILOR, JAMIE-GRACE, and TOBYMAC. This would be his new venture. He soon sought out how he could be apart of these CCM shows in any way he could.
He began volunteering with merchandise, and different organizations at nearby concerts. Most recently he volunteered with TobyMac for the second time in March 2015, and happened to get the chance to meet him. Toby did him the honor of "plugging" his debut performance at THE UNDERGROUND (Cincinnati, OH.) in a video. Scales continues to stay faithful on his spiritual walk, and hopes to inspire and motivate anyone he can, with every new opportunity.
