The “Wild Tonight and Yoko Na” hitmaker gives Billboard Philippines a personal look into the inspiration behind each track on his heartfelt and intimate debut solo album.

From the beginning, Josh Cullen has envisioned his purpose as one of hope and inspiration for others. When he announced the release of his debut album, “Lost & Found,” fans eagerly awaited what he had in store. This album is not just his first solo project; it carries a deeper, selfless mission.

Through the songs, he shares his life story, aiming to connect with listeners and assure them that they are not alone in their struggles.

“My purpose is to give inspiration and hope,” Josh explained to Billboard Philippines. He hopes that those dealing with similar traumas or pain will realize it’s okay not to be okay, emphasizing the importance of self-care and resilience.

Musically, “Lost & Found” features a diverse range of genres, including vibrant pop rock, soulful ballads, and energetic pop-punk. Collaborations with artists like (e)motion engine and Alamat’s Mo add to its dynamic sound. Despite this eclectic mix, Josh insists that authenticity is key; his songs remain distinctly his as long as he shares genuine stories from his heart.

He believes that true artistry lies in originality. “As long as you write with authenticity, there will always be something unique that only you can create,” he stated, underscoring how his personal experiences shape his music. For those who have followed his journey, it’s clear: “This is Josh Cullen. This is really his story.”
