Joshua Banbury is a multi-dimensional vocalist and lyricist, gaining international attention for his work in jazz, folk, and opera.

He started his classical training as a teenager and now is equally at home singing with jazz trios as he is with symphonic orchestras, string quartets, and folk ensembles.

Since 2021, the rising star from Austin, Texas has made solo appearances with some of the most respected artistic organizations in the country, including The Apollo Theater, The New York Philharmonic, The National Black Theater, The Phillips Collection, Jazz at Lincoln Center’s All-Star Orchestra, Jazz at The Ballroom, The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, and The Alexandria Symphony Orchestra.

Additionally, Joshua has been fortunate to work with some of the most alluring figures across jazz and opera, including Aaron Diehl, Samara Joy, Russell Thomas, Denyce Graves, and Anthony Roth Costanzo.

In recent years, he has held artist residencies at Soho House Austin, Looking Glass Arts, and The American Lyric Theater, considered the country’s premier mentorship initiatives for promising operatic writers.

Joshua’s work has been presented by The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Opera, The Kennedy Center, and Washington National Opera.
