We had the good fortune of connecting with Joshua kim and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joshua, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I went to University and graduated with a Business Degree and then went on to work office jobs and also for Microsoft which I soon realised that I could not do this for the rest of my life. I looked inside of myself to focus on what the things were that make me happy and even if I were not to make the most amount of money from it I would still be happy doing it, which turned out to be dancing and I have not stopped dancing since that decision I made 7 years ago.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am an Australian born, New Zealand raised Artist of South Korean descent. I have to overcome a lot of obstacles from racism, industry being told no over and over but what I learnt is to keep on going no matter what any body says or does to you so long as you have the fire and desire in your heart to keep going, Do exactly that and the Universe will give you what is meant for you be consistent, work hard and really take care of your health, not only physical but mental.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would have to tell them to come through to the Club that I work at called sunset at the Edition and take them to Koreatown to eat Korean BBQ.
