Aside from music, Josh’s sense of style garnered attention. When asked about potentially venturing into modeling or launching a fashion line, he shared plans for album merch that incorporates his aesthetic and hinted at joining Paris Fashion Week.

On relationships, Josh remained introspective and private, though he admitted to having his eyes on someone within the industry. His clear focus on balancing artistry with personal connections showcases a grounded side to this rising star.
