Born in Leesburg, Florida and raised in Brownsville, Texas, Josh grew up surrounded by the rhythms of community, faith, and music. With the early guidance of his father and grandfather, he picked up the guitar at age nine and quickly began developing his own sound by ear. Entirely self-taught, Josh’s musical intuition has been shaped by years of hands-on

experience—performing, producing, teaching, and recording across a wide range of settings. Whether leading worship with his wife Crystal, playing in their cover band Top4D, or producing for Northwoods Worship, Josh finds joy in both the creative process and the connection music brings. He has shared music across the U.S., Mexico, and Guatemala, taught private lessons, led songwriting workshops, and has experience in live, studio, and digital recording environments. He enjoys being a part of Rock Solid’s house band because he can collaborate with other passionate artists in a space built for growth and creativity. From the stage to the studio, Josh is always exploring new ways to serve others through music.
