   About JOSHUA ALO


Joshua Alo was roots reggae's first enlisted U.S. service member to bring conscious reggae music to and throughout the Middle East, including the frontlines of Iraq and Europe all while serving the nation abroad. Though Joshua has separated from active duty service, he continues to captivate the heart and mind with messages of faith, love and a call to global and self awareness..."Alo's music reaches the depths of the soul and brings a sense of tranquility, "eloquently speaking of faith and messages appropriate for all times and seasons." (Honolulu Star Bulletin '07). Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Joshua learned to strum the ukulele and acoustic guitar on the rhythmic shores and hills of the island. His meditative sound clearly identifies him as an island boy with a soulful voice that chants conscious and uplifting lyrics, rootsy acoustic guitar and ukulele, bluesy fender guitar solos and aggressive instrumentation that pack a highly vintage sound remnant of Bob Marley and the Wailers. In early 1999, Joshua enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served as a mail transportation manager where his job was to ensure the deployed U.S and coalition soldiers receive mail, no matter where they were, to and from their loved ones back home. This unique occupation provided him a broad global experience and cultural understanding having been based in Japan, Belgium, Italy, Kingdom of Bahrain, and travelled to 26 countries, to include multiple deployments to Iraq. In the summer of 2008, Joshua returned home to Hawaii after 9 years of service to the nation. He was received with open arms and was featured on the front covers of Oahu and Maui newspapers and radio stations, appeared on Hawaii's leading news channel, and electrified stages throughout the islands. While based in northern Italy in 2007, Joshua linked with the sensational Italian tribal roots backing band...Zion Love. Together they toured Italy and recorded his debut album "Answer Your Calling", which has received positive press and renown from notoriously harsh critics. Answer Your Calling also ranked 2nd in Brazil's Radio Reggae Trade's Top Reggae Albums of 2007. Everywhere he goes; Joshua sings conscious roots reggae not only to the struggling soldier, but to all inhabitants in first, second and third worlds alike. He writes and sings from the depths of his heart, bringing forth visions of his vast experiences and gained knowledge and insight from his walk of faith. "Alo has the talent and potential to rise in the reggae world, tempered by honesty and humility, such as demonstrated in his confessional album title song, "Answer Your Calling". This is not only commendable but inspiring for listeners searching for examples of truthfulness and authenticity in Babylon, where examples as such are not always easy to find." (Jahworks.org magazine) Alo is currently living in Brussels Belgium expanding his music on an international scale. Joshua has teamed up with hard hitting musicians from Burkina Faso, Congo and Belgium and is getting set to enter the studio once more for production of his sophomore album "Orchid Unknown".
