Artist Profile.

About my artist

My artists name is going to be Josh Douglas and is going to have brown hair and be quite skinny but fresh looking.  He will be based around the jack Johnson/john Mayer type of look and music but will also has a bit of redhotchillipeppers rock too. He comes from a small old town in Wales called Aberbargoed and has lived there all his life. His has had a normal middle class family life in the country and has a normal upbringing and has been with his girlfriend for 3 years and she also plays an instrument but didn't want anything from it. He has only recently moved to London as he has become more popular so by moving there he can get to do a lot more studio jobs and go up in his career.  He has moved to London to go to college and to break through the mainstream so that he can become nationally known instead of just locally known. He is now at a specialist music university hoping to improve and make a career fully out of his music. He started playing the acoustic guitar when he was only 5 years old and has played it ever since and has just turned 18. Josh's type of music is very different as it is widespread. It goes from fast acoustic rock to a more slow tone of it being chill so then it can cover a wide audience. He said that his newest inspiration was Ed Sheeran but not for his music (even though he likes it) but for how he has got his music to be well known and hasn't changed the way he looks to try and fit into today's style and looks of music artists.
He was heard by from the Internet as he started a post on face book when he was 12 and lots of his friends and family persuaded him to put it on you tube for more people to here about. The word got spread round and his videos got lots of views and he a call up from A and R who recommended him to music companies. This is when the London music college asked him to apply when he was 16 and it has gone from there onwards.

Some of his inspirations are:

• Newton Faulkner
• John Mayer
• Jack Johnson
• Paolo Nutini
• Ed Sheeran
• Charlie Simpson

My artists personality:
He is quite shy at first but is getting better with having to meet lots of new people so is becoming more confident and is ready to express his music widely.
