While at Troy University, Josh recorded three studio albums and one single with POPulus and has produced audio soundtracks for Troy’s Virtual Worldwide Open House Tour and a soundtrack for film composer Nick Nicholson. He interned for RWS Music Company, founded by renowned composer Robert W. Smith.

During Josh’s time at Wallace Community College, Josh studied piano under Marissa Mayfield. He played keyboard, piano, percussion, and drum kit in Wallace’s Instrumental Ensemble for two years. The band accompanied The Wallace Sound, the college’s show choir, and they also played background music for people entering to watch a theatre production on campus.
