HOW YOU KNOW
HIM: Singer/actor Josh used to be in the babely boy band No
Authority-now he has a solo career that's really taking off (he shares a
manager with Britney Spears and *NSYNC). Look for his RCA Records debut
to hit stores in the next few months. As for acting, well, he's done
tons of stuff: General Hospital, the CBS movie of the week A Murder on
Shadow Mountain, Baywatch, Boy Meets World, Chicago Hope and Sister,
Sister, to name a few.
SINGIN' SWEETIE: "I was in a gospel
group for a couple years when I was 12 and 13. It was a multicultural
thing put together by a record producer after the L.A. riots. It was
really fun to be in and that's where I learned a lot of my style and
developed my voice."
BIT BY THE ACTING BUG: "I have an
older sister [Ali Navarro] who is in a group called Nobody's Angel and I
always used to tag along when she would go to her acting auditions. So I
told my parents, 'Hey, Mom and Dad, I really want to do this too.' I did
a commercial for Osh Kosh B'Gosh overalls when I was 3 or 4, and I did
print ads for See 'N Say-you know, that toy where you pull the string
and hear animal sounds."
MOMMA'S BOY: "The most important
lesson I ever learned was probably to trust my mom. My first serious
relationship was a disaster. It was the wrong girl and my mother saw
this from the beginning. Finally, a bunch of things went wrong and I saw
that it wasn't something beneficial to me. So I eventually ended it. It
really caused a lot of stress in my life for a year."
STAND-OUT SONGS: "My songs are very
personal. I touch on different things about love and how hard it is to
go into another relationship and trust somebody again after you've been
hurt. And then there are songs that make you just wanna get on the floor
and start dancing!"
IN SYNC WITH *NSYNC: "*NSYNC are
actually one of my inspirations. They're the people who made pop music
cool for me. Because at first, all I wanted to do was sing R&B, and
then I heard 'N Sync and I was like, 'Wow! You can be pop and still have
soul.' That's going to be a great tour to be on because I've seen their
live show and it's amazing."
LOOKIN' FOR LOVE: "I want a girl
who's got the confidence to laugh at me and at herself and at everyone
else and not take things too seriously because I never take things too
seriously."
THE PERFECT DATE: "I'm very
spontaneous. I don't like to plan things, so usually, like if I'm going
to pick up the girl, I say, 'OK. Be ready at this time,' but I won't
tell her what we're doing and depending on what my mood is, you never
know. I'm always thinking of something different."
WHAT HE'S HIDING: "I have two
tattoos. One on the right side of my chest-it says 'determination' in
Kanji writing. I also have one on my left arm, up on my shoulder
area-it's my name in a negative space design where you look for the
letters in between blocks; you've got to look at what's not there. The
whole idea behind that is to not judge something based on what you see,
because it's what you don't see that says something about a
person."
