Bio
.. Maybe ordinary isn't so ORDINARY. .. Singer/songwriter, Joshua Kruse, is a 24 year-old South Jersey native with big dreams and even bigger talent. .. An avid songwriter, with 120 plus originals under his belt, Joshua Kruse is steadily sculpting his craft. "I catch myself daydreaming throughout my everyday activities, coming up with little hooks and phrases in my head. It's like a jukebox is constantly blaring in my head - only the songs that are playing haven't quite been written yet!" Kruse's music has been described as Acoustic Rock, with hints of Soul and Americana; fused with simple, yet powerfully thoughtful lyrics that come off like he's talking right to you. Staying consistently focused on establishing a career performing his music, Joshua recently released his first album through Insomniovox Records titled "Every Little Bit That You Learn". .. "This ten song album shows a snapshot into the world of Joshua Kruse. His artistry of acoustic guitars and great vocal harmonies are everywhere on this disc as he unfolds song after song, with you right there in each story." - CDBaby.com .. "Every Little Bit That You Learn is an album that i can say i am truly proud of", says Joshua. "It's not about playing off of people's emotions, but rather acknowledging them. Each song is real though. Real things that have happened to me, or are happening to me; the same stuff that happens to you! It's about all these seemingly small peices of yourself adding up to a whole. Who you are. Who I am. Then again, it's easy to get carried away when you're just some average suburban dude with a guitar trying to make himself feel relevant. Haha!" .. Joshua Kruse can be found performing all over Southern New Jersey, Philadelphia, Delaware, and beyond. "Performing is equally as special to me as writing is. I feel like I gotta have both to be balanced." He has been winning over audiences with his charismatic stage-presence, soulful voice, and quick wit. Joshua is hopeful and unwavering in his quest to share his music with anyone who is willing to listen. Passionately he has said, "I want to do this for the rest of my life. If I have to do it one person at time, then that's what it's going to take. I'm willing and able." .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Joshua Kruse - Litlle White Lie (Live)...... .. .. .. .. .. ..
