We had the good fortune of connecting with Joshua Tucker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joshua, why did you pursue a creative career?
I have always had a deep love for music.. I played the drums all my life and always had dreams and aspirations of making it my career. . Going through life working a 9-5 and attending college i knew that wasn’t the route i wanted to take. So i bet on myself and the decision to take my musical career serious.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
There are not too many big people who are from where i am from in richmond virginia. So me having so much success in the social media world was just amazing. It was in no way easy. I had a lot of bumps along the way from family losses to gear failing to lack of motivation but my drive to want better and do better for myself and ones around me helped me stay consistent. Without this i would not have met so many great people, been featured on a tv show and impacted so many people. My goal is to spread positivity through the music community. I am big on collaboration and helping others and want everyone to be kind and help all musicians succeed.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Definitely would go get brunch at one of the many nice restaurants on south beach. Then just enjoy the area and maybe go jet skiing. I also would suggest rent a boat and cruising around the ocean. You definitely must stop by bacon bitch and the sugar factory while in town for a great fun experience.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to shoutout my family. They have supported me through my whole journey. Anything i need to be successful someone in my family steps up. Anything from driving me to shows to buying equipment or even just kind words and encouragement. My family embodies “it takes a village.”
