Sacred Solos in Chinese

Joshua Solo Samples (From the 80’s to 2012)

It is not because I am not a professional singer that I do not have professionally recorded DVD’s, CD, LP’s or Cassettes. The reason is I did not become a “Recording Artist” through recording each song numerous times until it is perfect or even cut the song into many parts and record each part numerous times till it is perfectly stitched together before I release them. Many singers become good just because they have money and teams of managers to sell their commercially made “Perfect” products. Some even lip-sync to their own recording when life performing. The truth is that I do not perform, I bring a message through my testimony in song and music. I became a good professional because I did teaching, singing and directing for over 40 years and I learned my skills through teaching and making mistakes live on stage. Therefore all my recordings were life recordings with amateur equipment and amateur techs. (if any) I believe that is the only “real” deal. All my recordings have been “raw”. I am a servant of God, I do not play the popularity, money and fame game. That is the games played by people who are into merchandising (selling) and they have lots of money to spend in order to do it. Normally, it takes 4 to five failed “albums” to start gaining ground. Great many never recover their loss. And great majority of “Recording Artists” fail in making money to pay for their expenditure. I am not in that category and I do not think professionally recorded “albums” DVD’s, CD’s, Cassettes, LP’s are a measuring stick for a servant of God. All my recordings are not planned but just an amateur camcorder or recorder on an amateur tripod placed at the side without any helping tech attending. All of my recordings were requested by my students and/or the congregations in ministry work. I do not waste God’s money in doing professional albums with beautiful packaging and dealers’ promotion.
