Back Story
Joshua Daniels, otherwise known as Josh was born on 13th July 1995 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Belfast was the capital city of Northern Ireland, so Joshua was always a bit of a city boy and always felt out of his depth in the countryside. His Mother, Geraldine Daniels was a receptionist for a dental practice and his father, John Daniels was a car bodywork mechanic. Growing up Josh and his family struggled for cash and very rarely left the country for holidays as his parents were constantly working in order to put food on the table. This meant that in his infancy Josh never had a relationship with his parents, which affected him throughout his teenage years the most.

When Josh was 6 years of age, he became a brother with the birth of Gary Daniels. This is where the trouble began, Gary was born autistic, and this meant that he required 24-hour constant care. This meant that Josh’s mother had to leave her job as a dental receptionist in order to provide the care, which put a lot of strain on the family. When Josh was 14 the unthinkable happened. His dad had a bit of a mental breakdown due to the stress of being the only breadwinner and the struggles of home life looking after an autistic child and this caused his dad to walk out of their lives completely and move to London. This caused greater tensions in the house, as Josh was left with only his mother and brother and to make matters worse there was no money coming into the house.

As Josh was too young to work and still in school, he had to get creative… So, what Josh started to do was begin the path of rebellion and illegality. Josh had a local corner shop, owned by Jayadev Korrapati, which he went to frequently. One day when Josh was given no money for his lunch as his mother had none to spare, he went to the corner shop before school, and he was thinking how he could make some money to eat at lunchtime… he stole a handful of chocolate bars and went to school to sell them at break times in order to get lunch money. This went on for a number of weeks as the money situation was worsening. The problem with this is that although it started off with chocolate bars it did not stay there, the stealing had soon escalated up to electronics of schoolmates such as iPods and phones and even worked its way up to laptops and computers, just to provide some food for his mother and brother. A mixture of the struggles of home life and the pressures of growing up on the streets of Northern Ireland meant that Josh had started to appear on the radar of the criminal underworld, also known as paramilitary organisations, which specialise in severe organised crime.

As soon as Josh was 16, he was approached by 2 masked men and told he would be doing some work for one of the paramilitary organisations and Josh knew that when approached in that manor it is a no go to say no to them. Josh went home and told his mother what had happened, and she was horrified, this was due to her knowing what they were involved with. Josh went to meet with these people to find out what kind of work he would be doing and how well it pays. He was told he would have to follow through some initiation process so that they can see that Josh could be trusted. This process was to steal some drugs off a rival organisation and bring it back to them. Josh carried this out without an issue, and this meant that he became a full member of this organisation. Josh was then told he would be a drug dealer for this organisation, and he would be able to keep 20% of any cash he brought in. Josh started out selling weed and over the years moved up to cocaine. On a weekly basis Josh was racking in £3000-4500 every week cash, which went a long way in the household. At this point Josh was 21 years old and his role within the organisation changed… it was about to take a very sinister turn. Josh was told that someone had carried out an attack on another drug dealer in the organisation and they needed to be “taught a lesson”. This meant that Josh was ordered to carry out a kneecapping. This involved shooting the victim in both knees so that they were unable to walk for the foreseeable future and possibly even ever again. Josh obliged and carried out the attack which started gangland feud with another organisation. Over the months ahead riots had broken out on the streets between both organisations and a number of lives were lost. Josh knew he had to find a way out before his life was taken. The only way out at this stage was to run away. The one issue with this was that if Josh took this way out, he would not be able to return to his native Northern Ireland. This was the route that Josh took, however, and he went to London to live with his father.

When in London Josh followed in the steps of his father and learned a trade so that he could make a living as a mechanic… This was the first job Josh ever had. And Josh took the money he saved from drug dealing and bought a car with it. It was a 2003 Honda Civic Type R, standard. This was bought to get Josh from point A to point B, but over time it turned into a project car as a hobby that he and his father could work on. This was the start of Josh’s car fantasies. He took his little Honda everywhere, lots of different car shows and car meets. He would be found at a local weekly car meet close to his home every Tuesday night and different car meets and shows at the weekends. When Josh turned 25, he decided that the scene was not for him anymore and he started to apply for jobs in the United States, He wants to start a new life away from the troubles of Northern Ireland and away from the stresses of life in London. He has been approved a green card and he has sold up cars and belongings to move to the United States and rebuild himself into a hard-working guy.
