Oshua

Born in Canada and raised in South Africa, the now Perth/Boorloo (Australia) based artist began recording music in 2020 amidst the start of COVID-19, inspired by the likes of Young Thug, Nujabes, Alicia Keys and Tame Impala. Oshua leverages the power of internet collaboration with releases underpinned by introspective lyrics, Underground Hip-Hop drums, confident vocal deliveries, and handpicked instrumentals which are used to reflect a genre-bending sound.

Following Oshua’s debut and various co-signs including Young Thug & Denzel Curry, his Sophomore EP “Float Music 1” released in June of 2024, which saw frequented collaborators with Billboard and upcoming producers, as well as a feature from rising Atlanta star Destin Laurel, this EP brought with it yet another jump in quality, improvement in sound and even more tasteful visuals to accompany the music. The release led to him earning a spot on one of Australia’s biggest music festivals – Listen Out, where Oshua performed alongside global acts such as Tyla, 21 Savage, Lil Tjay, Teezo Touchdown and more.

Oshua now has his eyes set on his debut album "Angel Heights" with an expected release date in June 2025.
