My name is Josh - I’ve been making music for about 10 or so years altogether. Playing in bands (guitar) throughout high school. Soon after school - I had started moving around the country on my own trying to find my place. Without a band, I looked into production. I already had a MacBook for school - so I had GarageBand. I dove in head first from there. I soon met one of my best friends in Buffalo NY, Anthony, who was rapping at the time and I was making beats for him. He passed a few years later, and that took me away from making any music. Life took me across the country to Oakland - and I started DJing out there from someone not showing up and just being at the right place and knowing someone. Ended up getting a monthly gig and figured I could start producing again and working my own remixes into my sets. But most of my stuff then was really downtempo trap oriented. Dark sounding stuff.

A few years of djing and I moved back home to Missouri and settled down and started a family. Being in the house so much had me taking up old hobbies and I dusted off the ol Maschine and installed Logic again.

This time around I understood social media platforms more - searched up beatmakers and branched off of a few homies I knew and found myself in this great community of supportive DIY forward thinkers slapping pads and flipping samples and I fell in love all over again. I haven’t looked back or put the pads down since.

I mainly rock the Akai MPC Live 2 combo’s with my SP404A - I try to keep things strictly hardware since my day job is on a computer. But I also proudly frequent the Koala Sampler app.

Much love and appreciation for putting this series together and allowing me to participate. It’s a huge honor to rock with someone that dedicates their time and energy to this community!
