Basically from birth, Josh Surviving has been raised up in church and from a very early age fell in love with music. By age 12, with his mother’s encouragement, Josh Surviving began playing the organ at church. Word of mouth quickly spread about the gifts and talents bestowed upon him and shortly after beginning his career, Josh Surviving started to work with some of the biggest names and churches in the gospel world across the Chicagoland area. Josh Surviving is a self-taught organist, pianist, keyboardist, singer and he also plays his portable “airboard” for crowds whenever possible.

While going through the chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Josh Surviving would play the baby grand piano on the hospital floor he was admitted to. The music would disrupt the silence, pull other patients out of their beds into the hallways in search of the sound that was changing the atmosphere, which if only temporarily, changed how they felt on the inside. The music allowed Josh Surviving’s spirit to escape the walls of the hospital and flow into the rivers of faith, hope, joy, love and destiny to fulfill his purpose.

In 2025, Josh Surviving started writing, producing and recording his upcoming EP to be released in 2026. The music is for anyone who has given up, lost their way, thinks time has ran out, nobody cares about them or simply doesn’t know what to do, Josh Surviving has been through all of that and the testimony will be in the music.
