Joshua Milo @-Veedel Club, Köln

Joshua Milo's music is wild and unpredictable, fusing elements from video game music, jazz-fusion, indie pop and trap into an oddly satisfying sonic cocktail. Although the German musician is familiar with a few instruments, his heart beats especially for the keyboard and piano, which he studied in the Netherlands until 2022. Not only is he a talented instrumentalist but also a producer and multimedia artist. His unorthodox creations on YouTube range from an orchestral piece made from an emoji to music created from random objects in his room and he has won remix contests from the likes of Andrew Huang and Davie504. His short videos on TikTok and Instagram have gone viral multiple times, amassing millions of views and 120,000+ followers in total. He has collaborated with renowned NYC saxophonist Sam Greenfield, played on the famous North Sea Jazz Festival and opened shows for Tom Jones, Lukas Graham and Nils Landgren. For his live shows, Joshua has assembled a "supergroup" of his favorite musicians and friends to accompany him on a musical journey full of high-flying melodies and captivating grooves.

"My friends like to describe my music as either Mario Kart music or porn music, and I'm not sure whether to feel offended or honored."
