For Josh Frost, it all started with “La Bamba.” While traveling on a family road trip, young Josh happened upon a Ritchie Valens tape and found inspiration. Despite not knowing a lick of Spanish, the song led him to seek out ways to become more musical in his life.
In the years since, Josh's music tastes have further evolved and become more specific. “I love music with catchy melodies, creative timing, and intricate guitar parts," Josh says. "Stuff like Jimmy Eat World, Copeland, Underoath, Acceptance… The list could go on!”
Coming of age in his group, Search the City, Josh signed with storied punk label Tooth & Nail and began touring the country and recording in top-notch studios. When in the studio with Search The City, the singer became more and more engaged in the process of recording and learning about gear.
Early on Josh learned to always use subtractive EQ before boosting and to always start a mix with proper gain staging. What is his favorite part of the process, though? “There are certain parts I love about each aspect of the recording process," Josh states. "Ultimately, I love seeing a song come to life when it's nearly finished.”
When he's not knee-deep in gear or working at Vintage King, you can find Josh at Disney on Ice with his wife and two kids.
