Born in Brooklyn, New York to a Puerto Rican mother and a father from Saint Lucia, Joshua grew up in the Caribbean, where his first taste of the F&B industry was a job helping out at his aunt’s hot dog cart stand. His father’s side of the family owned restaurants, bars, and clubs in Saint Lucia, and so it almost seems like Joshua was born to do what he does. Joshua was working in Hollywood, Florida, before he followed a then-girlfriend to Singapore. What was at first meant to be a short, few-months stint for Joshua has now turned into a long- term endeavour after he was introduced to Javier at Kilo, just six months after the restaurant opened. Today, Joshua is involved in all concepts at Kilo — he helps to create dishes, cocktails, and menus for the restaurant and lounge, and also assists in day-to-day operations, events, concept and brand development. Together with Javier, Joshua is always looking for new ways to move Kilo forward. “We both believe that the best thing you can do is to create something that is honest, real, and full of your soul and love,” Joshua says. “The right people will appreciate it, want to experience it, and hopefully want to share it with others.”
