With a penchant for captivating melodies and a self-described ‘curious mind’, singer/songwriter Josh Gauton creates music that explores the heights & the depths of life, faith & human emotion in a hauntingly beautiful blend of rock, folk & indie, told through his enigmatic and tender lyrics.

Born in Canterbury and raised on a diet of 80s Nu Wave & Acoustic Rock, Josh’s early foray into music was through Classical before discovering Grunge & Nu Metal in his teens. He taught himself guitar and slowly began penning his own compositions until in 2015, along with a relocation to his current home in Birmingham, he dropped his first single.

2019 was the year Josh both released his debut LP, the indie-hymnal ‘O, Peace’, and decided to take a break from the project to start the alternative & rock band lotusbliss with two of his brothers. 4 years on, Josh Gauton makes a solo return with his sophomore album ‘Slow Renaissance’ (out August 4th) - his most ambitious, most vulnerable work to date.
