Josiah Leming was born in a small town in East Tennessee. He was raised by a mother and a father who worked ceaselessly to put food on the table for Josiah and his 8 siblings, including four brothers and four sisters. Where money was sometimes scarce, Josiah's parents made up it for with a more than sufficient amount of love and support. It was these humble beginnings that gave birth to an unbelievable sense of ambition and pride in Josiah. At a young age it was clear to see that Josiah was driven by a restless, and sometimes reckless imagination that never ceased to grip him. From that imagination came the devotion to create a truly original and inspiring art form drawn from a large influential pool including writers, singers, actors and political figures. At the age of 8 Josiah began playing the piano, almost completely self taught, with the fundamental help of a local elderly piano instructor. Josiah began writing his own music around the age of 16, and began performing locally shortly thereafter. After picking up the guitar, bass, and drums, Josiah pretty much abandoned structured education, and at the age of 17 dropped out of school, to the dismay and disrespect of many. Josiah spent a year traveling the country, performing and improving both his songwriting ability and performance skills. After a brief appearance on the TV reality karaoke show American Idol, Josiah signed with Warner Brothers Records, and is currently in London finishing up his debut album, set to release fall 2008. As far as the music goes? Explanations are not needed, just give him a listen. (:

Hey where can I hear or buy your track 'Lovely" I really liked it but I cant find it anywhere now and its driving me crazy. Please let me know, thanks.
Privet, Josiah. Waiting for your updates, a new song. Those good old days, looking forward for another musical gem from the man, JL. Meanwhile "Satisfied" will do.
Well color me impressed. I was listening to "Grace Kelly" at work today, wondering, "Whatever happened to that Josiah guy from American Idol? Did he die or something? Because that'd be flippin' lame if he doesn't have anything new out after all this time." I magically found the EP online then and could NOT stop listening to "Theysay" and "Arctic Outcry Wind." Holy cow. Super glad that, not only are you not dead, but you're putting out good music. Looking forward to the album. :]
