A musician from Nottingham, writing striking indie-pop. Emerging from a thriving music scene, Josh has already caught the attention of Janice Long at Radio 2 and has a host of producers lining up to work with him. With a self-diagnosed addiction to writing, this songwriter is composing about matters of heart and soul with a knowing empathy rarely found in someone so young.
His influences are cited as being locked firmly around artists like Death Cab For Cutie and David Gray, along with some newer artists such as Rhodes, Kyko and Rae Morris.
Josh has had the opportunity to open for the likes of Fickle Friends, Anteros, Gavin James, Ady Suleiman, Fatherson and many more.
"A songwriter with real passion and conviction...brooding, subtle, under-stated" - Clash Magazine. "Spine-chilling...Absolutely brilliant" - Dean Jackson, BBC Introducing. "Something quite unbelievably stunning...Poignant...Achingly beautiful" - Linn Branson, Little Indie Blogs.
