Hailing from Swindon, a town better known (to some) for exports such as Billie Piper and err, Melinda Messenger, Josh instead grew up listening to the music his father played – Dylan, Hendrix, and Simone. Picking up a guitar for the first time at the age of three, Josh self taught, and hasn’t put it down since, playing at every bar and venue in his hometown and anywhere he could get to on twenty quids’ worth of unleaded.
Likened to a young Ray LaMontagne or Ben Harper, Josh is rapidly developing a name for himself as a gutsy and heartfelt young performer.
This Summer saw Josh re-working one of his songs, ‘Don’t Go’ with Wretch 32, which led to a #1 single, a lot of love, and resulted in Josh taking to the stages of Glastonbury and V, as well as ‘Later With Jools Holland’ and Radio One’s Live Lounge.
Josh is now working on his debut album having recently signed to Sony RCA.
