Vienna, city of classical music, the waltz, the choirboys, Sacher cake and court riding school, schnitzel, Heurigen, Sissis and Franzls, the Burgtheater and opera ball - that is one side. Vienna, city of Falco, Wanda, Ambros, Fendrich and Heller, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Bilderbuch, Life Ball and MQ - that is the other, creative side. JOSH comes from this Vienna of contrasts. JOSH. picked up the guitar at an early age and started playing Beethoven on it. But it took inspiration from Eric Clapton, Paco de Lucia and Bruce Springsteen to get the teenager really hot for the instrument. He soon combined the burgeoning passion of pop and rock songwriting with five years of jazz studies. But like classical music before him, jazz became too elitist for him: he didn't want to believe that music could only be "played right". From JOSH.'s point of view, it was allowed to be crooked and still be good. And it was good. The collaboration with singer Kathi Kallauch ("Kein Sommer für einen allein") became the "Radio Wien Sommerhit 2016" and brought JOSH. together with his future producer team Echopilot. In their studio, in close cooperation and in complete silence, JOSH. found his voice, his signature resulting from the contradictions of Vienna and his very own sound. All this is united in his song "Cordula Grün", which took Austria and Germany by storm in June 2018. With a twinkle in his eye, JOSH. describes his encounter with a femme fatale whom he falls hopelessly for. The title inspires with minimalist arrangements, great storytelling, love for the German language and a wonderful music video. You can also expect wordplay and everyday stories on his debut album in spring 2019 - and a release tour to go with it. In April, JOSH. will present his album repertoire live - with band, charm and dot behind the H.
