My Music Journey
My Music Journey
Starting on the piano at age 6, music has been a significant part of my life for over 40 years. My journey as a professional musician began in high school when I played gigs at coffee houses, bars, and school events with a band called Bobbi Fret. As an adult, I continued to embrace my passion for music, playing piano, guitar, and harmonica as a musician for hire. I have performed alongside songwriters and musicians on stages across the country, in the studio, and on recordings. Throughout my career, I have published music in genres including Christian Rock and Contemporary Jazz, invested in recording studios, and supported musicians I believe in as an executive producer. Notably, I have written songs and produced music for Grammy award-winning artist Paul Cardall.
After years of performing for others, I released my debut album, Hard to Breathe, in 2011. I am currently working on my third album, which I expect to release on all streaming services in 2025. You can listen to my first two music albums below! Additionally, search for my music under Josh Waldron on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, and other platforms.
Music as my Healer
Throughout my life I have experienced extreme ups and downs, from sustaining permanent injuries resulting in disability, dealing with the death of loved ones, going through divorce, and experiencing overwhelming challenges in my career. But through it all, my constant was music. Music has lifted me up, inspired me, given me an outlet, allowed me to communicate in my own way, and has brought me peace to my heart in times of chaos.
