Joshua Pearlstein
Joshua Pearlstein is a 21-year-old pop artist, songwriter, and producer crafting a raw, gritty, and visionary sound. Born in Atlanta and now moving between Boston and Los Angeles, he’s already crossed a million streams with a catalog gaining recognition from tastemakers like Earmilk, who has featured him six times - all while studying at Berklee College of Music. He discovered his perfect pitch as a kid and locked in early, obsessed with artists who treated music like movies - Michael Jackson, Prince, The Weeknd, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga. Not just hitmakers, but system-breakers. From the start, Joshua knew his songs had to live between instinct and control; built on melody, movement, and emotional truth. His sound is modular, three-dimensional, and mechanical. From gritty club bangers to danceable pop, his music is built to hit emotionally, sonically, and physically. Everything is intentional, but when the songs materialize themselves into creation, Joshua fully lets go and lives, acting as a transmission device between creativity and reality. At Berklee, he’s refining the execution with a process that is fully hands-on and fully his. Since releasing his first singles, he has racked up over a million streams and has reached over 150,000 listeners, using nothing but blind intuition and an uncompromising stubborn inner voice. With a larger body of work on the way, he’s designing a new paradigm. His music isn’t meant to blend in; it’s meant to rip through.
