Joshua Bassett grabs some popcorn on one of two covers for the new collectors issue of A Book Of magazine!

The 20-year-old “Lie Lie Lie” singer opened up to the mag about his music, his inspirations, valuable life lessons, and creating magic by letting go.

Joshua revealed in his interview that he was on the verge of quitting before getting the call that he got the role of Ricky in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

“Often times, the best things in life happen just after the curve – just when they get the hardest then they end up being the most wonderful.,” he said.

He also shared some advice for aspiring artists and what trait is key…

“You’ll be successful if you are you, and for what you bring,” Joshua said. “When you are honest, everyone feels the emotions and if you’re able to get that and capture that, that essence of whatever that is, and put that into your song, it resonates with people – almost all the time, no matter what.”
