Edit history

Josh Forner’s musical journey began in his early years, growing up in a musically inspired – but not necessarily musically talented – home in Virginia, U.S.A with his Australian mother and American father. The two exposed Josh to a wealth of classic rock and contemporary alternative music from the early 90’s. Forner began to expand his influences into funk and soul in his teens before making a sharp U-turn towards folk, adult contemporary, soft rock and elements of alternative country. Josh Forner has had his songs shortlisted in the Australian Songwriter’s Association Songwriting Award as well as the Melbourne Music Bank competition run by Bank of Melbourne. His multitude of life experiences have become evident in the next phase of his songwriting, in which the content has become far more political and real-world based as he works towards the creation and release of his second full-length album, ‘A Crooked Point of View.’ 'Flatlining,' a 5-track EP is set for release in May 2022.
