  • [Producer Spotlight] Josh Holiday @iamjoshholiday

    Introduce yourself(Location, age, professional name, etc)

    Yo Yo Yo its ya boy Josh Holiday…18 years old. I’m from Hampton, VA by way of Montgomery, Alabama. And I’m a Pisces lol

    What artists have you worked with/songs have you produced?

    I have worked with Big Sean, 2Chainz, Travis Porter, and Machine Gun Kelly as far as rappers. Worked with and toured with Kitten as far as rock bands. And KB and I have worked on THQ: Saints Row 3’s in-game soundtrack.

    Who’s 1 artist you haven’t worked with yet but you’d like to?

    I cant choose just one. haha but to name a few… The Black Eyed Peas, Paramore, Boosie, Glee Cast, Outkast, Adele, Frank Ocean, Kirk Franklin & Prince .

    Describe your sound in 1 word.

    supercalifragilistic

    What would you like to accomplish in the next 12 months?

    In the next 12 months I would like a Grammy or 2. But most of all I want to have reached enough success, which other young talented kids can feel motivated that if a boy from Montgomery can do it, than really anything is possible and you don’t have to be a certain age or from a certain place to be successful music or whatever you dream is to be in life.

    What made you start producing?(Specific song, family influence, etc)

    Well I have been around music my whole life. My mother is a singer, and I played Trombone since I was in 7th grade smh lol. But as far as producing, when I was 6th grade KB gave my older brother a beat making program, and one day I played around with it, and someone walked past the computer while I was listening back to the beat I made and called me “lil Pharrell” so I looked up who Pharrell was and I wanted to be just like him.

    What software/equipment do you use?

    Fl Studio 9 & Computer Speakers lol

    What projects are you currently working on/submitting for?

    T.I, Ludacris, Chris Brown, Brandy, Ke$ha, B.I.G KRIT, Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, A$AP Rocky and anybody/everybody else.

    What’s one piece of advice you’d offer producers in regards to placing tracks?

    Don’t make music based on what you hear on the radio because by the time its on the radio it’s months old.  So just make good music. If it’s good, it will get placed, if not then it must not be good haha

    Where can people find/contact you?
