'HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: THE MUSICAL: THE SERIES' JOSHUA BASSETT [IN PRINT]
“Nobody knows what they’re doing” – that’s an honest, yet deep statement that became the central theme of our interview with the charming actor, singer-songwriter Joshua Bassett. It may seem like a random drop of philosophical wisdom from the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star, but it is this candidness and openness that puts him ahead of his contemporaries. This self-awareness and honesty is what transcends through his art - whether he is writing songs, creating music, or acting - there’s that certain level of vulnerability that makes him more charming and relatable.

In this time of global unrest, where uncertainty looms over people’s heads, authenticity shines. That’s what the world needs right now - raw, fresh and unapologetic talent with lots of heart.
Bassett is a young star with an old soul on his way to reach greater heights. Albeit he is still in the beginning stages of his career, his awareness to tap into his experiences and his ability to express his truths through his music make him a star to watch out for.
We are honored to feature Joshua in this special Collector’s Issue as one of the major emerging stars of Hollywood right now who have inspired and reached millions globally through his art. With the meteoric success and the heightened anticipation of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, to his debut EP in 2021, there’s so much to look out for in Joshua Bassett’s career. There’s freedom in his aura of reckless abandon that transcends through whatever he does. It’s tender and it’s honest; much like his music.
In A BOOK OF, we are proud to highlight emerging talents that shine and inspire people around the world. More than anything, we need art and exciting artists to inspire us right now.
