In 2017, josh embarked on his long-awaited music journey by attending his local college by enrolling on a music production diploma.
In 2020, josh left his local college to study at university to study music production at a higher level and degree.
As an artist in the new Millennium, it has been hard to grow up. With all the challenges that Josh aka “Evolution” has faced in the past 7 years of being a musician in a world where all that really matters is numbers and your relevancy on social media, it has been no easy journey for him.
Evolution released his debut mixtape "Infectious Dreams" in December of 2019, shortly followed by his second record, "Late Night Dreaming", in 2020, which was successfully featured on Spotify’s Release Radar. He then released his hit single "Marijuana" with Walsh, singer and social media star Ceri Pryce, which was his most successful record to date. His third album, "Through The Looking Glass", dropped in January 2021 and was then re-released in April 2021, shortly followed by his debut EP "Bad Wolf".
The “INFECTIOUS DREAMS” era was an experimental project. From hard EDM undertones to pop and epic hip-hop production. “Late Night Dreaming” was mostly house-oriented, again with pop influences.
In September 2021, Evolution was featured on BBC Radio Northampton, with his hit single “Control”, which subsequently featured multiple playlists from all around the UK, including Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
In November of the same year, he released his 4th studio album, “BAD WOLF”
After finding music was an outlet for him, Evolution gained a strong support network around him in his teenage years while he was at college. His lectures knew who he was and wanted to be not just a person, but as an artist. After spending so much time in the limelight of his mates, supporters and the people who raised him and made him the man he is today, it is without a doubt that he has faced so many situations. But he keeps going and going, pushing himself to new limits.
In 2022, Evolution released his 5th studio album entitled “The night we made history”
In March 2023, he also dropped his then-most successful project, “MISTAKES & PERFUME”
