Meet Joshua Pearlstein, the 20-year-old artist who is reimagining the pop genre. He is a creative from Atlanta, GA, currently attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, writing songs that are as innovative as they are catchy.

A prolific musician with a flair for songwriting, Joshua discovered his perfect pitch early in life and quickly started music lessons. Falling in love with the greats like Michael Jackson, Prince, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and Lady Gaga, he knew exactly where his songs needed to land creatively, relying on his instinct for melody and rhythm to guide the process. 

It wasn’t until high school that he truly immersed himself in his craft, picking up singing, dancing, and producing, while exploring the darker side of art as a cathartic medium to tell his stories. From club bangers to mainstream pop, Joshua’s music is bound to resonate with listeners. Knowing he had to take his music to the next level, he was accepted to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he is honing his ability to write songs, and quickly gaining notoriety at the school for being able to create music that holds its own.

He is audacious in his vision for his music career, being very meticulous in his dedication to the art form, similar to how his idols were before him. He hopes to lead a future generation of musicians in a field so heavily dominated by respected legends, being inspired by the greatest elements of the most classic works.

In his first year of releasing his first few singles, he has amassed over 500,000 streams on Spotify and has had over 100,000 listeners. His first four releases shined a spotlight on a sound that is musically unique and original to him, showing that Joshua is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to pop bangers. As he prepares to release a larger body of work, Joshua is poised to elevate his artistry even further, delivering a deeply introspective project with hopes of leaving an indelible mark on the music industry.

    “Joshua Pearlstein‘s range is sublime, we love his chord progressions and the drama that ensues is hypnotic! The string chops are electric, and we deeply connect with the star’s timbre and the pop sensibilities that remind us of Maroon 5, 5SOS and *NSYNC!”

  • LT1KF says

    ““Endorphins” emulates the likes of Sam Smith with the brilliance and raw power of Caroline Polachek. Featuring stacatto strings that feel sharp as a butler’s cleaver, the track sets up an ever-intriguing atmosphere made up of interesting and unusual sounds that feel it up with energy.”

  • Beach House says

    “His unique sound, influenced by legends like Michael Jackson and Prince, shines through brilliantly. Joshua’s dedication to his craft is clear, and it pays off big time in this track. Seriously, don’t miss out on this one[.]”

  • Pop Fad says

    “His singing conveys the emotion of the lyrics, and is cohesive with the synthesizers and the drums…You can feel how down the character is feeling during the song, the delivery of the lyrics fits the mood of the track.”

  • Mesmerized says

    “…‘Wandering Degenerate’ is a bold and slightly dark electro-pop track that has been expertly pieced together and layered. Pearlstein’s vocals pierce through the melody, creating an evocative and complex listening experience that is just irresistible.”
