None Like Joshua was created as a musical outlet for Joshua in the summer of 2008. After years of musicianship in the drums, guitar, bass, and piano, Josh was finally able to incorporate his musical talent into an experimental project dealing with acoustic pop rock, and electronica hip-hop. With some success on his first album Incipit Vita Nova, Josh has gained an Internet popularity most would find impressive for a beginning artist.

Using his skills and knowledge from his Music Industry Major at Loyola University, Josh utilized as many Internet marketing outlets as possible. His hard work began to pay off when Josh became a featured musician on networkingmusician.com and dubbed as the "quintessential expression of the new world musician." None Like Joshua was also named winner for the daily feature on bandfortheday.com by vote. NLJ has also achieved over 9,000 views and 4,500 song plays on Myspace in a little over a year and a half since its creation in 2008. Incipit Vita Nova, now available for free downloading, has achieved over 500 plays in 2 months on nonelikejoshua.bandcamp.com. Josh has also gained over 235 fans on Facebook since NLJs formation.

Not only does NLJ have a fan base in the United States but also has a small fan base across the globe, spanning from Indonesia, Eastern Europe, Africa, Brazil, and the United Kingdom. Clearly, None Like Joshua has some future potential in store.

NLJ is in the process of combining the two genres he enjoys most (acoustic rock and electronica hip-hop) into one entity for the upcoming album: Maniac Devices, set to be released for next winter on iTunes and other e-tailers. Joshuas music speaks from a personal side with lyrics the Wolf Magazine says are "compelling enough to make the listener want to find out more." Its difficult to place a musical label on NLJ, but we could say its experimental with an emphasis on hip-hop; similar to artists like Kid Cudi, Buck 65, and Sage Francis.
