At an age when most pre-teens were still finding their way to Geometry class, Josh began performing in public as a jazz musician. He was 13, and he’s been improvising ever since.
You can still catch Josh improvising today; both playing jazz professionally in smoky jazz clubs and inspiring thousands worldwide on igniting their creativity.
