Joshua Crawford Biography

On June 12th, 1990 I entered this world with two roommates: my brothers Justin and Jason. Yes, I am the oldest of a set of triplets, and amazingly we all are musicians. My interest in music began differently than you may have expected. I originally had an intense desire to play the guitar while my younger brother Justin played the drums. We all started as church musicians (and still play in church to this day) with my brother Justin on drums and Jason on keys. Even though I wanted to play the guitar we didn’t have one yet so I sat in as a backup drummer, scared to death and hoping that my brother would never get tired, or would just let me play the slow songs. However, my fear and my hesitation to play drums changed as soon as I joined my high school jazz band. Also, my brother Justin stopped progressing as a drummer and had now moved on to play guitar, which now serves as his main instrument. My brother's best friend Alex Rassberry and I started a jazz band called '3+1' (get it?). We gigged all throughout our local city Newark NJ, and my love for drumming in general evolved into a love for different kinds of drummers. While were out trying to make a name for ourselves I would meet different drummers, and just seeing what other drummers were capable of was awesome to me. That’s when I started my YouTube channel. I started doing reaction videos featuring different drummers and built a platform for the drum community. My YouTube channel currently has over 200,000 subscribers and has generated over 50 million views. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.
