Johnnie Walker Blue Label is a refined composition of Scotland’s rarest and most exceptional whiskies—a harmonious blend of vanilla, honey, and rose petals that give way to the rich aroma of sandalwood, tobacco, and citrusy kumquats. The sophisticated masterpiece invites a pleasure-filled experience comparable to indulging in the soul-stirring melodies of violinist, composer, and model Josh Kua.

The 34-year-old virtuoso took his first steps into the music industry in 2009 as an independent artist, steadily building a following on Instagram and YouTube. Josh has performed in countries like Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, China, and Malaysia, while catering to brand events from Chanel, Gucci, Cartier, Hugo Boss, and Yves Saint Laurent. “When I first began, music was just a part-time passion during my holidays from university. It started as a hobby, and most of the opportunities were in Asia, with my earliest jobs in Malaysia,” Josh explains. Although he holds a double degree in law and commerce from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, music remains close to his heart.
