Born into a musical family, Josh began studying music at a young age under the tutelage of his grandmother, who taught him the fundamentals of piano. After studying classical and jazz piano, he set his sights on the electric guitar, much to his father's chagrin. He developed his own sound as he started composing and has become an accomplished songwriter and producer. Josh's original music has been featured in multiple TV shows and various commercials for worldwide brands, and has been streamed millions of times across DSPs. He's also contributed to several projects by industry stalwarts Dominic Fike and Jim-E Stack. Outside of music, Josh has experience at agencies and in-house in several creative roles. Currently, he is Head of Production at Abnormal AI, leading Abnormal Studios, a creative team that works directly with the company’s C-suite on several strategic media projects to bolster the company’s burgeoning story. Previously, he was at Haddad & Partners, where he wrote marketing assets for Microsoft, LightBox, Cameo, and other high-profile clients. He also spent time at Spotzer Digital, helping small businesses develop their online presence with SEO-driven web content and infographics.  Josh also has branding and visual design experience, which began in early 2017 when he was gearing up to release music under his current project, Westerns. In addition to taking countless photographs to serve as the visual counterpart to the music, he designed logos and a limited edition run of hats inspired by his favorite sports teams. In 2022, Josh held his first art show, a collaboration with fellow San Francisco artist Elliot Bamberger. Called 415 Sports, the project is a celebration of both artists’ extensive collection of retro SF sports team apparel. The show opened on 4/15/22 at HUF, where limited edition prints, books, and hats were sold. On his off days, chances are Josh is playing chess, watching the 49ers, Warriors, or Giants (and more recently, F1), hiking in Switzerland, reading, or listening to a relaxation podcast at 2x speed.
