Josh
Josh was born and raised in Northern Virginia just outside of Washington DC. As a kid, he began skateboarding and listening to grunge and punk bands in the mid nineties. In 1996 he got his first bass guitar from a pawn shop for his birthday, a Mexican made Fender Precision bass. After teaching himself a few songs and taking lessons for a few months, he met some friends who had a drum set and a guitar. They played music together in a band all throughout middle and high school. He went on to play in another band with the same drummer from his younger years, and played out in small clubs throughout the DC area throughout his twenties. Major musical influences include Flea, Kurt Cobain, Fat Mike, Tom Morello, Serj Tankian, Mike Schleibaum, Randy Blythe, and Reginald Arvizu. Josh is now a father and has taken a hiatus from playing in bands, however still plays bass and occasionally records solo work. He currently plays an American made Fender 5 string Jazz bass.
