Joshua John Brown has been writing music, playing drums and guitar, and performing since he was 14 years old. JJ started writing to find an escape to a place where he was responsible only for the moment he was in. He writes about being in love and other times he writes because he knows that someone is in need of strength. Through the power and magic of his acoustic rock melodies he touches people’s hearts and carries them through their experience, embracing them with his words.
Most recently, JJ was honored with the opportunity to open up for the Kevin Costner Band and The Doobie Brothers and Peter Frampton at The Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, California. Through the summer months, JJ performed every Friday and Saturday night at the Sunset Lounge located in the Hotel/Casino.
In 2006, JJ co-wrote a song for Christian rock band The Turning for their new album called “Learning to Lose”(signed by Rocket Town Records, 2006).The song is called “Through All the Earth”. JJ also sang background vocals and assisted with engineering the recording of the same album. Recently on Christian Music Review “Through All the Earth” was referred to as “one of the best tracks on this album.” The writer went on to say he “wouldn’t be surprised if this song becomes part of a praise and worship ‘best of’ CD’ someday.”
While JJ’s music isn’t generally classified as Christian rock, he has the ability to create music from the inspiration and messages others are looking for. He can customize songs for weddings or any special occasion for someone looking to say something through song. Additionally, he is available to perform at special events.
JJ worked for Sound Kitchen, the largest and prestigious recording facility in the Southeast owned by Weston Entertainment and John Elefante (singer for Kansas). During his time there, JJ set up sessions for Tim McGraw, Wynona Judd, Sarah Evens, and more.
JJ resides in Central California. He just returned from a long and weary trip to Nashville only to realize that the rockstar lives in you and not the city you live in or the people you know. JJ is a musician with direction, goals and untouchable motivation for musical success in the San Joaquin Valley.
