At age 3 his parents bought Josh a student guitar and by age 7 he started taking guitar lessons. He had exposure to the blues at an early age, as his parent's musical influences, such as Muddy Waters, Albert King, T-bone Walker, and Freddie King records, were constantly being played on their home stereo. When these artists weren't on the stereo, Josh was going to Allman Brothers, the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen concerts. At the age of 12 Josh started playing local clubs in his home town of FT. Lauderdale, Florida. By the age of 18 Josh had gone on 4 National tours and played with countless great players. He also had his 3rd and 4th CDs produced by world renowned producer, Jim Gaines, whose credits include, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Luther Allison, Steve Miller, and Jimmy Thackery, to name a few. Josh has lived in Los Angeles for the past 4 years touring Nationally and Internationally with various recording artists.
