The last time we met Josh Kua was also for a Men’s Folio cover shoot just before the string of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns started. And what a close to three years self-discovery journey that was. Kua has been busy getting his life back on track since international travel ban has been lifted.
“Not just with carrying out aspects of my work which were made difficult during lockdowns – performing live, shooting, collaborating in person – but also playing catchup on other important life events that were missed due to border closures. Finally reuniting with my cats was another huge relief,” he says. Kua also shares that he has been working on a new single, which will be dropping soon.
Kua possesses an actual habit which is proactive in nature and that explains why he’s positive that he is heading toward the right career direction. “To be my own unique expression of the universe. I don’t want to create out of necessity, but rather, just because. I’m an independent artist and fund myself so I have complete creative control. I can do whatever I want. While I do have to create in other ways to make a living and fund my music projects, at least I have peace of mind that whatever I put out there is an authentic representation of me,” he says.
Every live performer understands the importance of keeping his or her audience’s energy up and running during a performance. Famed for his ability to capture and maintain his audience’s attention, with his wealth of experience, Kua, of course, has a few tricks up his sleeves. “Sense the room. And create a mood that you think they will vibe with. A little gusto and physical theatrics never hurt, but keep it genuine. No one likes fake.
