SB19’s Josh Cullen strides in the international music scene by being featured in Gramy’s Global Spin.
In the video, the musician performed the live version of his sing “Yoko Na,” featuring Al James. However, the rapper was not in the video uploaded by the Recording Academy/GRAMMYs YouTube channel.
In the video description, the channel stated that Filipino singer/songwriter and rapper Josh Cullen performs “Yoko Na,” a track about unsaid words in a relationship nearing its end. Accompanied by a full band and various visual assets, Cullen’s raw and honest portrayal resonates deeply in this live performance.
Check out Josh’s performance here:
In his performance, Josh delivered a different rendition of the track. The Grammy’s Global Spin version offered more of a pop-rock version compared to the original track with Al James.
Josh’s fans or BBQs (based on his SB19 house name) shared their proud sentiments for the performer online.
Your achievements are a testament to your hard work and perseverance. Keep striving for excellence, for the world is yours to conquer.
