Josh Williams
Producer, Rhythm Guitarist with a Lead Twist!
Josh's Story - Rhythm Guitar
Josh was born and raised in Folsom, CA, and received his first guitar at age 12. He quickly mastered his favorite AC/DC, Metallica, and Ozzy Osbourne songs, later drawing inspiration from guitar legends like Van Halen, Steve Vai, and countless other shredders. In 2003, Josh began recording his own band, which eventually led him to build a recording studio that has supported various Northern California artists over the past two decades.
In August 2023, while helping with sound and backline at a private, invite-only music festival in Shingle Springs, CA, Josh crossed paths with Born & Raised. They immediately clicked, and Josh began running front-of-house sound for several of their shows. This collaboration naturally expanded to recording an EP and LP for the band. Exactly one year after meeting them—and following a lineup change—Josh was invited to fill in as a guitarist for a few shows. The chemistry on stage was undeniable, and the success of these performances led to Josh officially joining Born & Raised as a full-time member.
