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 professional musician journey started in high school playing gigs at coffee houses, bars, and school events in a band called Bobbi Fret. In my adult life I continued playing piano, guitar, and harmonica as a musician for hire, performing for songwriters and musicians on stages around the country, in the studio, and on recordings. I have also published music in the Christian Rock and Contemporary Jazz genres, invested in recording studios, and backed musicians I believe in as executive producer. I have also written songs and produced music for Grammy award winning musician, Paul Cardall.
After years of playing music and performing for others, I released my debut album, Hard to Breathe, in 2011. I am currently working on my third album and expect to release it on all streaming services in 2025. Listen to my first two albums below! You can also search for my music under Josh Waldron, on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, and others.
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.
