​
He's fortunate to be a 3-time SOCAN Foundation Award-winning music composer for film and TV, most recently scoring HBO Asia's new flagship drama Dream Raider – for which a soundtrack album is available everywhere. He's also incredibly lucky to be entering his 9th year teaching at Stagecoach Schools, where he was honoured to be nominated for Best Drama Teacher worldwide in 2019. Acting and Music were vital forms of creativity, fun and courage for Josh as a young person, and he aims to bring all 3 of those qualities (with a healthy dose of humour) to every class, and to every student.
