In his formative years, he dedicated countless hours honing his DJ skills and curating a diverse range of music styles such as Techno, House, Drum and Bass, and Chillout.
In the 1990s, Portugal faced a cultural conflict sparked by the emergence of rave music, which was perceived as a divisive and controversial genre. The energetic beats and groundbreaking sounds of rave music met with significant opposition, resulting in its omission from radio airplay.

After the arrival of his first child, DJ Joshua opted to reduce his participation in event planning and radio hosting. He shifted his focus to wholeheartedly embrace his new role as a parent.
Seeing how his daughter was growing and maturing motivated DJ Joshua to reignite his love for music. This revived enthusiasm led him to initiate a new endeavour: the Floating Beats podcast and radio show.
Since its inception, the program has attracted a dedicated following eagerly awaiting Joshua's thoughtfully curated playlist. Floating Beats, accessible on various esteemed online platforms, has become a top choice for fans of electronic music.
