​

   Joshua Stevenson was born and bred in  North Myrtle Beach South Carolina. He atteneded North Myrtle Beach High School where he participated in the marchnig band and also held the position as section leader in the drum line. After receiving his high school diploma he relocated to Atlanta to attend Atlanta Institute Of Music where he graduted with a major in drums.  

   Joshua's relationship with music began at an early age. It all started when Joshua's parents noticed that he always was moving to the rhythm-- whether it was clapping in church or beating on the walls around the house. With his father being a pastor and his mother a choir director Joshua was always around music and great direction. They knew it was something about Joshua and music so they supported his interests and purchased  his first drum set for his third birthday. He kept up with his new hobby so well that they later allowed him to start playing in church.

    As Joshua began to age so did his gift. His hobby quickly developed into a profession. One of his major influences was a hometown drummer by the name of Micheal Woodard. From Woodard he learned how to be more disciplined within his art. He also learned how to make a more distinguished sound-- something more personal. He continued to grow within his father's church and soon became a staple figure within the choir. Before departing to Georgia he also had the opportunity to perform at other churches in the area that also appreciated his technique.

   While crafting his art at Atlanta Institute of Music, he learned under the authentic teachings of Creig Harber, Tom Knight, and Eric Sanders. They all pushed Joshua to evolve into the musician he is today while also creatively cultivating his own musical standards. He was also inspired by other musicians that he enjoyed listening to for their unique style including Aaron Spears, Gerald Heyward, Rex Hardy, Stewart Copeland, Teddy Campbell, Tony Royster, Skeeter Mcmillian, George “Spanky” McCurdy.

   From the studio to the stage, Joshua is persistent about creating different approaches to drumming. Joshua was the lead drummer for Andlove- a reggae rock band, R&B recording artist Tawana Lael, and his church Spirit and Truth International Worship Center. Currently Joshua is the drummer and background singer for the Criag Sorrells Project.   He is also an endorser of Rich Sticks, where he has his own signature drum stick, and endorse's Dominion Cymbals . He is excited about future endeavors within his music career. He aspires to be an international name in the drumming community. On the way to the top Joshua continues to live by “PLAY FROM THE HEART and LET GO” !!!!!!!
