From certain angles, Joshua Panda looks like the Joker from Batman, but not the Jack Nicholson Joker – the cartoon Joker. He literally looks like he was peeled off a comic book’s page.....but Panda’s music is no joke. -Scott Lazes (Deli Dice)
A young man with more than his share of curiosity and a spirit bound to a passion for life, driven by his bottomless love for individuality and travel, a songster, a performer, poet, and advocate for the freedom of inhibited and conformed souls, Joshua Panda stands as an example to those who seek to be truly themselves despite social normality. Born and raised in a small farm town on the outskirts of Charlotte, Joshua moved to the city in pursuit of his career and love of musical performance at the age of seventeen. Wowing audiences of all ages and creeds, and performing, recording, and influencing artists of all genres, Joshua has spent the last four years polishing and refining his craft.
Now at the age of 22, after 5 years of the very close knit and slowly growing Charlotte music scene, he has hit the road. Always traveling and touring, Joshua spends a lot of time in the Northeast, particularly Brooklyn, where he has gradually begun to make an indelible dent in the music scene. He is in the midst of producing a record that will be completed this spring. Surrounded by the plethora of aspiring musicians who have moved to New York City, Joshua has been able to distinguish himself with his truly breathtaking and soulful voice. Influenced by legends like Bob Dylan and Sam Cooke, and peers like Ian Thomas and Austin Hill, Joshua has blended folk and soul and poetry and created a truly powerful and sophisticated sound.
"If one were to take the noun, music, and give it a form--a living, breathing, passionate, rich life form in all its shapes, sizes and sounds, it would be delivered in the package that is one, young, Joshua Panda. When Josh sings, plays or performs, there are no boundaries. He weaves his heart and soul into every song, whether it's an original composition created for his solo or band projects, or covering anything from Sam Cooke to Marvin Gaye to Dylan, The Avett Brothers to The Beatles, there's nothing I can think of, or heard, that he can't do, and do powerfully well. And when he comes to the mic and effortlessly pours out those controlled and commanding vocals, one can only stop, listen...or groove..then ask for more. Music is not only IN Josh Panda's blood, it IS his blood." -Laurie Koster (Charlotte Area Promoter)
