Joshua Simon

In 2020, Joshua released the iridescent anthem 'All I Wanna Do' amidst the CoVid-19 pandemic. “​I believe this will be an exhale for every person who finds it. Recording this song has brought so much colour back into my life,” said Joshua Simon. Reflecting on his past relationships, Joshua sings about his desires and fears of falling in love again. By the end of the track, he breaks this tension to find the joy he’s been searching for, in himself. “​This song is my attempt to turn a human moment into an emergency shot of optimism. I think we all need that right now, especially with what’s going on around the world today,” added Joshua. The song sports an early 2000’s synth-pop sound, with deliberate callbacks in rhythmic delivery to Joshua’s earliest music inspirations - Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Madonna.

In 2019, Joshua was set to give a talk at a TEDxYouth event on June 29 when he was asked by Singapore Polytechnic to remove and edit his speech’s LGBTQ+ contents. In a statement released by Singapore Polytechnic, a spokesperson said that “certain parts [of the speech] relating to his sexuality might be inappropriate for the target audience.” Joshua decided to withdraw from the event, refusing to censor his talk and to set a precedence for future LGBTQ+ speakers. The incident sparked controversy and intensified conversations on LGBTQ+ discrimination in Singapore due to Section 377A of the Penal Code. Simon's speech was supposed to occur on the same day as Singapore’s only pride gathering, the annual Pink Dot festival, where celebrations are contained to one area of the city.

Also a singer songwriter, he was one of 17 artists from around the world who sang on 20th Century Fox's official Youtubers' cover of the song 'This Is Me' from the movie The Greatest Showman, recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London in 2017. A similar collaboration with 20th Century Fox happened the following year, Simon represented Singapore in a Queen Medley recorded at Metropolis Studios, London, in an marketing effort for Bohemian Rhapsody.
