Josh Barron comes from a small rural town in Royal Center, 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 the 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. 

Now based in Portland, Oregon, Josh is working on the score to Fallen Aces by New Blood Interactive, a noir-styled game where you play a hardboiled detective looking to rid the city of crime. In addition to this new score, Josh is working on a Dungeons and Dragons soundtrack called The Lost Mines of Phandelver. Josh's music is currently on Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, Google, Amazon, Soundcloud, as well as other platforms like Deezer and Tidal.
