Josh Estrada Project

Josh’s interest in music began with the acoustic guitar in 2002. After receiving an electric guitar for his 13th birthday, Josh dedicated his free time to learning the guitar. Soon his interests expanded to learning how to create and compose music. He finished his first song “My Only Girl” before his 14th birthday. He continues to focus his initiative toward improving his song-writing, guitar-playing, and vocal skills. Josh considers his style of music as Power-Pop/Punk-Pop. His influences include artists such as Blink 182, All American Rejects, The Cars, and Santana. His songs are filled with infectious guitar lines and catchy melodies. His music has been proven to appeal to all ages. As a role model for his younger listeners, in addition to pursuing his passion for music, Josh recognizes the importance of maintaining his academic excellence as an A/B Honor Role student. In addition to academics, Josh is also involved in sports and community service.
Josh's younger brother Jordan age 15 writes, composes and plays bass guitar for the band.
