Josh Cruz's journey began with hearing problems and has continued as an audio engineer and rapper. He is currently studying audio production at Full Sail University. Cruz grew up in a bi-racial family, is from upstate New York, and has overcome mistakes in his life through his faith, family, and message of hope which he promotes through his brand CruzMusic. His experiences in the U.S. Army, working for Apple, and doing social work have taught him valuable life lessons and helped him get through tough times. His dreams are to graduate, work in a recording studio, release his first album, pursue advanced music degrees, travel the world, raise a family, and do what he loves.
