Early Life:
Joshua Charlie Joseph Bradley was born on 4 September 1992 in Bermondsey, South London.

Moreover, Joshua has been a season ticket holder since 1998.
Early Career:
Joshua made his multimedia debut long before any other member of collective The Sideman ever dreamt of putting their face in front of the camera.
