After four years of doing rap shows, he decided to concentrate more on singing as he felt this was a progression or a continuum in his art form. There is freshness to his music and vocal style that is often lacking in this type of music and though it is rooted in funk and soul it has psychedelic and experimental leanings. Josda is not afraid to take risks.
