Joshua FosterJosh Fosters musical talent spans widely into songwriting, performing, recording and engineering/production. His childhood love of music turned into a career of passion and pursuit into the independent music industry. He performs regularly with his pop/rock band, Manufactured Defects. He also works with his band and solo act performing the more mellow pop/blues music under Joshua Isaac. His talent for singing, songwriting, and guitar playing measures up to his passion.
As an instructor, he is able to share that passion with his students and encourage them to want to reach the next level and pursue their musical goals. He also works as the house engineer for our organization producing our students' annual c.d.s giving them a really cool recording experience!
