It is evident that Joshua places his heart on whatever stage he commands. “17” is revealing, realistic and brimming with emotion. The artist’s long history with music can be seen and heard without doubt.

Originally from Peoria, Illinois, Joshua Ketchmark’s introduction to music happened by way of a diverse set of influences often heard on the radio during the 80s as well as his parent’s own vinyl collection. Having discovered bands such as the Beatles, Queen and artists such as Prince on John Mellencamp, Joshua developed a passion for music.

Joshua is a self-taught guitarist who used his mother’s guitar to learn riffs which later evolved into songwriting and full-blown sessions. After playing local showcases and taking a win at a battle of the bands, he landed an opportunity to record in a studio a step that moved him forward towards producing his own music. Joshua’s career in music has been one that has taken him from Peoria, Illinois to Nashville, TN a hotbed for music, and Los Angeles, California where he has played at numerous popular venues.

Having navigated through the industry in various capacities, Joshua Ketchmark landed many opportunities to work with big names in music such as Fuel, Jonny Lang, KISS, Pat Benatar, Melissa Etheridge and even Michael Jackson. While some of his gigs were behind the scenes, they eventually led to even more doors being opened and finally, a solo album titled ‘List of Regrets’. While Joshua’s debut album was a defining point for the musician as a solo artist, the best was yet to come.

Joshua went from playing gigs at smaller venues to headlining his own show at the Roxy Theatre on Sunset in LA. He has worked with a myriad of producers and engineers and has even given of his time to work with aspiring artists. After a break, the bi-coastal musician returned to the studio to hash out some more of his own work. “17” is the most recent single from Joshua Ketchmark’s album ‘Under Plastic Stars’.  Learn more about Joshua Ketchmark by visiting the links below.
