Joshua Crozier is a singer-songwriter from Uptown, Chicago; he grew up at Jesus People USA, which is an intentional Christian community that could be likened to a small town within an apartment building. This shaped his passion for creating and participating in a communal setting—diverse, messy, and beautiful as it can be. 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, 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.

He consistently writes new music and has released singles “Wildflower," “All We Can Be,” and “Regrow (Isaiah 43:18-19)” in anticipation of a full album later this year.
