Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction, as singer/songwriter and speaker Joshua Price is quick to attest. After all, it's not every day you're confronted by a stranger living in a school bus in a Walmart parking lot bearing a message from God himself, but that's exactly what happened to Joshua a few short years ago. The incident—as odd as it may have seemed—was an affirmation that helped plot a new trajectory for the Florida native, and he hasn't looked back since.
With a burgeoning national ministry both as an artist and speaker and with three recordings under his belt, Joshua's latest offering, Nothing Without You, was produced by Conrad Johnson of Lakeland's Inertia Sound Studios—one of Christian music's premier production hubs outside of Nashville. The two met after Joshua won a local radio station's "Cell Phone Superstar" contest, earning the opportunity to record a song with Conrad. Finding both musical and personal connection in the process, they forged a partnership for the recording of Joshua's entire EP.
"Conrad pushed me to convey a message with simplicity without losing depth," Joshua says. "He was very clear that he believed in me, and because of that belief I was willing to dig deep—both vocally and as a songwriter. He brought talents to the surface I didn't know I had."
The six-song EP is a smartly polished, worship-driven summation of Joshua's life since that unexpected parking lot encounter. Yet it's just a glimpse of the greater picture of his journey, which reveals a series of providential moments proving God's guidance and faithfulness along the way.
