Joshua D. Jensen, baritone, started singing at the age of 11, studying Italian Opera with Lynnette Owens. When he was featured on Park City TV's morning show, the news team declared him the "8th wonder of the world" a feat even more impressive when one considers that Joshua was born with a learning disability that was so severe that educators told him he'd never get past a first grade reading level.

Joshua has been a concert soloist on the Italian Festival, "Ferragosto" for nine years and has sang for the Naturalization Oath Ceremony in Salt Lake City, Utah 2005, in 2006. He has sung for a number of military retirement ceremonies at Hill Air Force Base including for Colonel Christopher Kleinsmith in 2007, Master Sergeant Nicole Shinn 2009, and Master Sergeant Bernd Tripps in 2011. He appeared at the Hill Air Force Base assistance fund kickoff event with Miss Utah USA in 2009 Laura Chukanov, and with Miss Utah Teen USA 2009 Tasha Smedley in March 2009, the Community College of Air Force graduation April 2011, and recently sang for the Mayor of West Valley City Mike Windor March 2013 and sings for the Italian Festival each year.
