About

Background

My name is Josh Cobert. I grew up in New York on a hearty serving of classic rock and was exposed to music early on. I've been greatly influenced and inspired by my father, Jon Cobert, who is an acclaimed musician, producer, and engineer (with several Grammy nominations, if I may toot his horn).


Through watching him, I learned the ropes of production and songwriting, and have continued to carve a path for myself as a musician. From pop and country to film and game scores, I see no bounds when it comes to writing music.


I try to create music that people will love and that transcends any preference in genre. I want my passion for music to carry over to those who listen and hope that someday I can be an influence to others.

My Music

I have released several singles out to the airwaves as a solo artist, as well as written instrumental pieces, sound to picture, and songs that I'm still looking for the right artist to take on. In addition to my solo work, I've had the pleasure of working with such artists as Thought Police, Steph Taibi, and Bliss Ü, in various capacities such as producer, engineer, songwriter, and vocalist. I enjoy the minutia of mixing a track as much as I do crafting lyrics and melodies, and am always willing to collaborate and get involved in good music however I can contribute.

It's too difficult to identify everyone who has influenced my music (either directly or by providing creative inspiration), but here are a few I feel have done just that:

• Steely Dan - Killer songwriting. One of my favorite groups.
• Zedd - One of the best at electronic production. Always crisp percussion and captivating melodies.
• Dispatch - The vibe and vocal harmonies from these guys never disappoint.
• Keanu Reeves - Speed was my favorite movie as a child.

I would also like to mention the illustrious Marc Blatte who has been a mentor to me and my songwriting. He's built an incredible career as a songwriter and has really challenged me to grow and refine my approach to the musical process.
