Joshua Williford
Joshua Williford, known as The Rapping Chef, serves up a fresh twist on the cooking world by fusing his love of food and music. Based in Texas, Joshua creates “rap-cipes”—custom rap tracks paired with his recipes—delighting audiences with every beat and bite. A self-taught chef and former aspiring rapper, he transformed his two passions into a viral social brand that’s as unique as it is entertaining. Featured in Rolling Out Magazine and on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Joshua’s creative flair has earned widespread acclaim, including a rare shoutout from Gordon Ramsay for his remix of Drake and Jay-Z’s “Pound Cake” while crafting a golden crème brûlée. Whether he’s in the kitchen or on the mic, The Rapping Chef brings flavor, rhythm, and inspiration to the table.
