"One of the most abundantly gifted of a new breed of singer and songwriter, blessed with a big, classically-trained voice and a soul to match. In 2002, pianist Jim Brickman, introduced to the world, not only a widely accomplished singer who moves fluently and effortlessly through many genres (including Rock, Opera, Jazz, Folk, Pop, Country, Music Theatre, Art Song and the like), but a lyricist and composer of uncommon sensitivity and power, whose work is clearly informed by the depth of his life experiences."  

The Verve Music Group


"Joshua Payne is that unique talent one encounters only rarely. He is naturally blessed with a rich, dark, beautiful voice that is at times both powerful and fragile. But it is because Josh connects to a lyric with intelligence and a kind of wisdom beyond his years that makes him a great singer. He has a tender lyric style because that's who Josh is: no artifice, just a man with questions who is not afraid to put himself out there or to break your heart with a song while you feel that guilty pleasure that you always get when you discover a real artist."

— Marc Jordan
