I have been influenced by all kinds of music, and continue to love them all (except country)
Fresno native Joshua Heath was born with music in his blood. Joshua’s talent flourished at a young age. He played several instruments early on, but the Bass quickly became his love and focus. Highly competitive throughout high school, Joshua played in every group possible, covering several genres, even touring Japan in the Monterey Jazz Festival All-Star High School Big Band. Although his original intention was to attend a conservatory in New York, Joshua ended up in Los Angeles and ultimately completed his masters degree in Jazz Studies at USC.
During this time, Joshua found a new love in electronic music and began to DJ locally. As his favorite experience at USC was composing for the big band and hearing his work come to life, he naturally began producing his own music. His first proper house track entitled 'You Wanna Dance?' was picked up by Grab Recordings in the summer of 2005. Soon after it was released in Feburary 2006, it became a favorite of world renowned dj/producer Miguel Migs. Miguel liked "that combo of funk, soul, bump and grit to rock the dancefloor" so much, that he signed Joshua's second release to his label, Salted Music, where Joshua quickly became a dynamic part of the Salted family.
Josh's Coldcuts Ep became a staple in record bags worldwide soon after its release in december 06'. He quickly follwed up with the 'Funky like a Foot Ep' on DAE Recordings, which hit the streets of WMC 07' with a fury & 'Casafiesta' was dubbed one of the tracks of the conference. Josh's 2nd Salted release, the 'Turnin Tables Ep' smashed up the house charts, and title track ‘My Headphones’ became 1 in the Traxsource.com Best of ’07 jackin category. Joshua and Troydon’s collaborative project ‘Quality Control’ took the 4 spot on that same list with a release on Drop Music.
2008 saw Joshua visit Europe and South America as well as the 1 spot on Stompy's Top 100 a few times; release several hot remixes & singles; sign music to HBO's smash hit 'ENTOURAGE';and finally, close out the year with a Massive third release on Salted Music: The Writers Block Ep.
2009 has seen Joshua complete a successful world tour from London to Holland to Dubai, & release his first solo project on Drop Music: the Dirty 30 Ep (see below)
As a DJ, Joshua is a resident at LA’s most prominent house night, Balance at club King King. He has played with the likes of Heather, Fred Everything, LCG & Miguel Migs to name a few. His DJ stylings are on point. He flows through many genres with ease, his programming is rooted in harmonic structure and combined with his energy and love this kid can really work a crowd. Things are looking good for varsity freshman Heath, & there is much more to come from this jazz & funk bred house head!!
