Son of musician Tivaini Tatofi from the legendary Hawaiian band Kapena, meant music was  inescapable for the artist from a young age. 

Proudly raised in Kaneohe Hawaii, Josh experimented with the genre of Island Reggae before establishing himself as a ballad singer covering love songs such as ‘Still The One’ (Shanaia Twain) and ‘Landslide’ (Fleetwood Mac). 

Now creating songs of his own, the singer’s recent ‘Love Collection Tour’ brought him to Aotearoa earlier this year where he sold out all of his shows in both Auckland and Wellington, impressing the Grammy nominated artist.
