The ten tracks that were compiled laid the base, for his musical career. During his high school years, he acquired the skills to play several different instruments, which aided him to release his second album One Road Two Hearts. With the release of his second album, he was able to have a hour and a half recital at the Historic Ironwood Theatre. His audience was captivated by this debut performance in 1989. Joshua donated the proceeds from the performance to the theatre to help with the restoration project at that time. Early in 1992, Thompson Studios releases his third album Faded Pictures. The songs contained on this album grasped the attention of several other companies and artist. Leading to one of them being published for the airlines, television and radio media.
