josiahgillie is a musical performance major, D3 basketball player, and Billboard-charting rapper who prays every morning, although his songs frequently focus on how quickly he can “make a bitty hit her knees.” Another artist might play up these contrasts to highlight how different they are from their peers. Not so for 20-year-old Josiah Gillie, who’s always emphatically himself no matter which hat he’s wearing. On the bench or on the court, backstage or on stage — he’s J.P. “It’s not a facade or something that I got to put on,” J.P. says on a video call. “I know a lot of YouTubers, a lot of streamers, when they off the camera, they’re a completely different person. I’m who I am regardless — if the cameras are on, if the camera’s off. It’s not hard to be yourself.” Read our interview with J.P. at the link in bio, or at TheFADER.com ✍️ perlucidum 📸 PhatPhatProductions #JP #ComingOutParty
