At just 19 years old…
Josiah is bringing a fresh voice to country music. One rooted in faith, authenticity, and small-town values.

Raised among the farms and wide-open spaces of Iowa, Josiah learned early the importance of hard work, family, and trusting God through every season of life. In 2025, he relocated to Barberton, Ohio, bringing with him a deep love for country music and a desire to use his gifts to make a positive impact on the world around him.

Standing 6'7" tall with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a rich baritone voice, Josiah has a commanding presence that is matched by his humble spirit. His music reflects real life—its struggles, victories, hopes, and everyday moments—while carrying a message of faith, encouragement, and unity.

Rather than preaching from a distance, Josiah's goal is to meet people where they are. His songs are built on the belief that music has the power to bring people together, inspire hope, and remind us that we are never alone in our journey. His Christian faith is the foundation of who he is, and that faith naturally shines through in every performance and recording.

As an artist with ZUGU Records and distribution through AMG and Universal Music Group, Josiah is beginning an exciting new chapter. With a growing catalog of original music and a heart for serving others, he is committed to creating songs that connect across generations and backgrounds while staying true to the values that shaped him.

Whether he's performing on stage, recording in the studio, or connecting with listeners, Josiah Showalter represents a new generation of country artists—one built on faith, authenticity, and the simple belief that a positive message can still change lives.

Josiah Showalter is a 19-year-old country artist based in Northeast Ohio, emerging with a distinctive voice that blends traditional country depth with modern crossover appeal. Standing at 6’7” with a commanding presence to match his sound, Josiah delivers a deep baritone vocal that sets him apart in today’s country landscape.

A Christian artist driven by his faith, Josiah’s music is rooted in message, purpose, and authenticity. His beliefs are central to his identity as an artist, shaping both his sound and the stories he tells. As both a vocalist and musician, he plays guitar and piano, allowing him to connect naturally and honestly with his audience.

His debut single Sunrise, released through ZUGU Records and distributed by AMG in partnership with Universal Music Group, was mixed and mastered by Sefi Carmel (London), bringing a polished, world-class finish to a voice built for country radio, film, and television placement.
