Joshua Torres

Joshua Torres is a recording artist from San Juan, Puerto Rico. In the early 2000’s his family decides to move from Racine, Wisconsin to San Juan, Puerto Rico where he makes his home in the Caimito neighborhood around the Río Piedras area. Came from reggaetón beginnings even being in a trio that included the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:1GKIlPFdcewHtpDVCQ8zmJ" data-name="Brray">Brray</a>. Later on he picks up rap for himself as a hobby of sorts even switching to writing in English and using it to narrate his life and of those around him with clever wordplay and vivid imagery.


In his first project Jose EP you can hear the whole journey all the way from living in Racine to Caimito with everything after that and in between. Using his upbringing in a Christian family as inspiration at times using symbolic lines and comparisons from biblical texts he puts together stories you can see as if it were a screenplay.


In his most recent work 30 EP it seems even clearer that the gospel aspect of making music is very much rooted in his work. For example various lines about Judas, Cain and Abel can be heard throughout this project using it in a way to describe ongoing situations in his life.


In a raw and genuine way he puts together these melodic hooks at times and intricate verses to say something to the listeners beyond just music. Handing down stories and suffered pain he makes content to not only entertain you but maybe teach you something along the way.
