name: Josh Barron
notes: 'Josh Barron comes from a small rural town in Indiana and has been composing
  and arranging music since 2002. His music started as classical and in recent years
  his music has expanded to pop, folk, world, and even electronica and rock. In 2015,
  Josh released a classical album called The ETHEReal String Project and joined the
  Materia Collective as an arranger. Since then, he co-founded an acoustic folk supergroup
  called The Travelers VGM and has worked to bring high quality productions to the
  game audio community.

  Even at an early age, Josh was involved in learning about music. He played trumpet
  in the high school band program which led him to his interest of composing. During
  this formative time, he arranged a track for OneUp Studios'' Xenogears Light as
  well as an Unofficial Kingdom Hearts Piano Collection. After graduating, Josh stayed
  active in the band department and arranged video game pieces for the band. It wasn''t
  until 2015, until Josh decided he would commit fully to composition and arrangement.

  Currently, Josh is continuing to expand his musical understanding. In 2017 and 2018
  alone, Josh has written two multi-movement concert works for string orchestra, arranged
  and produced multiple tracks for Materia Collective releases, and co-arranged/co-produced
  seven releases (2 albums, 3 EPs, and 2 singles). He is actively pursuing a video
  game composer career and still has 3 unannounced releases for 2018. Josh''s music
  is on Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, Google, Amazon, and Soundcloud.'
