Now United, the global pop music group recruiting young talents from all around the world, definitely has it’s fair share of up-and-coming entertainment. Take their latest Lebanese addition for example, Nour Ardakani (click here to read what she had to say about making it into the group.)

From dancers, to vocalists and musicians who have mastered their instruments, Now United has created a space for young artists to blossom. And dancer Josh Beauchamp is one of them.

 20-year-old Canadian talent Josh has been with Now United for three years, “ever since the first bootcamp audition” they held. He described meeting budding performers as young as him as “amazing.” “Meeting all these people from all over the world is incredible, and every single one of them can sing and dance and they bring a special *spice* from their home country.”

Comso ME spoke to Josh about all things dance and music, from his majoir inspirations, to what it feels like being a man in the industry…

Cosmo ME: Who inspires you? 

Josh: “I would say, definitely Michael Jackson, Usher; that whole kind of generation of artists that can sing and dance simultaneously, which is so hard.” 

C: What would you say to boys and girls your age who would like to pursue this career path?

J: “I would say, just give it all you got, honestly. If you really do love what you are doing, you will never stop it and you will keep pursuing it as much as you can. Find a good group of people that can grow with you as well. Healthy competition will always help you win.”

C: Which artist or dancer would you love to collaborate with?

J: “I personally would love to collaborate with Justin Bieber, he is Canadian just like me and I love his sound and everything about him.”

C: Do you feel like men in the music industry, specifically dance, are misrepresented?

J: “I do, I actually do. Growing up in a small town in Alberta, Canada, it is very common for everyone to just play hockey and be super manly.  I was just this kid who was always dancing and singing, and yes I got made fun of a little bit for it, but I’m super glad that I pushed through. I hope that my story inspires other young boys who want to dance as well.” 

And FYI Josh doesn’t just ‘dance,’ he trains for about 50-60 hours a week perfecting his craft.

Impressed is the least we could say.Â
