My name is Josh, and I’ve been playing guitar for about 8–9 years. I’m deeply passionate about the instrument and play almost every day. I always try to push myself to learn new songs, styles, and techniques. I’m looking to join a band with other dedicated musicians who love creating music, jamming, and getting onstage in front of an audience.
I’m currently in my final year at the University of Guelph and living on campus. Outside of school, I’m based in Milton. I have a car and can travel within reason for rehearsals, gigs, or writing sessions. I’m excited to connect with musicians who are serious about their craft and want to build something together.
