Joshua Crozier is a singer-songwriter from Uptown, Chicago; he grew up at Jesus People USA, which is an intentional Christian community many like to describe as a smalltown within an apartment building. This shaped his passion for creating and participating in community--diverse, messy, and beautiful as it is. Joshua is a lover of people, art, physical activity, nature, Jesus, and coffee. Not necessarily in that order.

Desert Rain is Joshua's debut release. Though not expressly a worship album, communion with God is at its core, the songs written in a season of spiritual depletion as prayers for God’s provision and nearness. Joshua blends the emotional depth of his lyrics with alternative tunings, harmonies, and strings, harnessing influences from his favorite artists such as Ben Howard, Bon Iver, and Jon Foreman. He loves to create an authentic, worshipful environment for his audiences by singing about spirituality (as found in the Christ tradition), mental health, love, loss, and social justice.

Joshua is set to embark on a multi-date tour across the US this summer.
