His songwriting and keyboard work, including co-writing hits like "What's Gone Wrong," cemented his place in ska history. Josh’s music career spans collaborations with legends like Jerry Dammers of The Specials and top Jamaican reggae artists such as Little John, The Silvertones, and Natty King, through his label Big Feet Records.
