Career

J Rice is from a musical family. His mother sang opera, grandmother played the violin, and great-great grandfather was in a 5-piece quartet with his brothers and sisters.[2] Josh came on to the scene in 2005 with his first co-produced/written/mixed album "The Intro" with Lil T where he continued to experiment with different sounds, collaborators, and social networks. He remained unsigned despite production and record deals being offered throughout his career. After one of his songs "Thank You for the Broken Heart" leaked from A&R email and started going viral on YouTube, J decided to focus his energies there, where he would build a following of over 200,000 subscribers. He later partnered with a small animation channel, and started making original songs and parodies, growing that channel to over 750,000 subscribers and over 300 million views.

In 2016, J started focusing his time on making a new album that would reflect his new found view of the world, and showcase a diverse range of genres. The album Joshua featured these new concepts and some experimental sounds.

Music and collaborations

J Rice is known for his multi-layer solo interpretations as well as cooperation with many online artists like Ahmir, Jason Chen, Kurt Schneider, David Sides, the then unknown and the eventual American Idol season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez [4] and many others.

J Rice was also featured in Stella Mwangi's 2011 album Kinanda on the track "Throw Me a Ladder". Mwengi's album, her second, reached number 15 on the Norwegian VG-lista official albums chart.
