Joshua Crumbly
Joshua is genre-blurring artist and sought after bassist who’s recorded and toured with artists like Kamasi Washington, Leon Bridges, Terence Blanchard and plenty more.
He made his musical debut aged 10, playing alongside his saxophonist father. A gifted performer, even as a pre-teen, he enjoyed mentorships with renowned bass players Reggie Hamilton (Whitney Houston, Seal) and Al McKibbon (Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins) before moving from LA to New York to attend the prestigious Juilliard music school. After years of honing his musicality alongside seminal players, Joshua finally embarked on recording his own solo pieces, beginning with 2020’s Rise. The starting place of figureight debut ForEver quickly followed, beginning with encouraging words from friend and collaborator Shahzad Ismaily.
“ForEver began with an out of the blue call from Shahzad,” Joshua explains “He told me that I needed to record a solo bass album."
