About Me

Singer/songwriter, Joshua Kruse, is a 24 year-old South Jersey native with a big dreams and even bigger talent.An avid songwriter, with 120 plus origionals under his belt, Joshua Kruse is steadily trying to sculpt his craft. "I catch myself daydreaming throughout my everyday activities, coming up with little hooks and phrases in my head. It's like a jukebox is constantly blaring in my head - only the songs that are playing haven't quite been written yet!" Kruse's music has been described as acoustic rock, with hints of soul and americana; fused with simple, yet powerfully thoughtful lyrics that could strike a chord with anyone who internalyzes them. Staying consistantly focused on trying to establish a career performing his music, Joshua is currently in the process of working on two new albums at the same time. The first is an acoustic ablum, followed by a full-band album. "I want the first album to be stripped down and bare, keeping everything simple. The second is going to be a little bit more produced, but without the smoke and mirrors", he says. Both have yet to be titled.Joshua Kruse can be found performing all over Southern New Jersey, Philadelphia, Delaware, and beyond. "Performing is equally as special to me as writing is. I feel like I gotta have both to be balanced." He has been winning over audiences with his charasmatic stage-presence, soulful voice, and quick wit. Joshua is hopeful and unwavering in his quest to share his music with anyone who willing to listen. Passionatly he has said, "I want to do this for the rest of my life. If I have to do it one person at time, then that's what it's going to take. I'm willing and able."Joshua Kruse- One Way Ticket
