Josh proudly endorses:
Josh Cohen is a multi-award winning six-string bassist, composer, session musician, and music educator who travels frequently throughout North America to perform and teach clinics/workshops including; Bass Boot Camp 2016 and 2019, Gruv Gear’s Clinic Series at Steve’s Music Toronto, Bass Break Live 2017 and 2020, the 2019 Waupaca Bach Festival, Solo Bass Night VI and VII and more. He has garnered a lot of attention for his solo bass compositions and arrangements, and his arrangement of Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon” was ranked as the number one bass video of 2015 by No Treble magazine.
Josh’s solo six-string electric bass performances, which can be heard on his debut 2014 album Out of the Bassment, use extended techniques to create the sound of an entire band with only one instrument, and without the aid of loop pedals. When listeners hear Josh playing for the first time, they are often surprised to find out that everything they are hearing is being created by one person in real-time.
Josh holds a bachelor of music from Humber College and a masters in music composition from York University and is planning to return to academia for post-graduate studies in the near future.
Josh is an official Gruv Gear artist (FretWraps, DuoStrap Signature, GigBlade Sliver, Kapsule), La Bella Strings artist, and Phil Jones Bass artist.
