ImageHi.  My name is Josh and I come from Perth and have been living in Canberra for most of the last 3 years. I started writing music just as a joke with my flat mate in Canberra and enjoyed it so much that I have been persevering for the passed 2 years.

The next step I took in music was to play with my friends "The Tully's" at their regular gig at Belconnen Mall on Sunday afternoons and have now enjoyed doing so for the last 6 months.

I am now releasing my first EP titled "Yet to be" with tracks including "Clear View", "Growing Up" and "One Day Wedding". I hope you enjoy listening to it!

I have commenced a trip half way around the globe, including the following journey legs: Ride my Ducati motorcycle from Canberra to Perth, Travel around South East Asia with 2 of my Brothers, Damion and Byron and his girlfriend Lisa, Drive a Toyota Hilux from India to the UK via the Middle East with friends from my old job. I hope that this trip inspires in me the seeds of some new songs.

I leave behind in Canberra my good friends from work and play including my rock climbing buddies. One memory I cherish with them was when we went to the Whitsunday Islands, hired a 52 foot yacht and diving equipment and spent a whole week sailing, diving, having the occasional drink ;) and of course strumming a few chords.

Take it easy,

Josh

Clear View
This song is about those moments of clarity in my life when I realise what is important and what actions I can take. The chorus of the song in contrast, depicts the times in life when I see problems in my life and in the wider world and it all seems too difficult.

Growing Up
Definitely a song from experience, but happening less and less thankfully. I'm not up to it anymore, though still enjoy a few. However, this song is not only the literal situation of drinking too much and regretting it the next day, but also about habits that you want to change.

One Day Wedding
This song didn't come from a specific relationship I have had, but is a combination of previous relationships and observing relationships of people that I know. I am trying to paint the picture of a couple who dream of spending their lives together, yet face adversity in some shape or form.

Stepping Stones
One of the first songs I wrote during a time in my life when I was finding my place. Having recently changed jobs and city, this song is about the process of building a new life in a new place and deciding where to go from here.
