Hello internet,

Yeah I'm Josh. I'm not really sure what to put in here so I'll just tell you why I'm here.

I'm a musician, currently studying Music Technology at The University of Kent. Recently I've started becoming interested in arranging popular songs for the piano. (I've been playing for the best part of 12 years now and I need to keep my music theory practise up so it seemed like a good idea when I thought of it). I started off publishing my work on Youtube but I started having people asking me for the sheet music so that they could play the pieces themselves, which was when I worked out that I could post them on here. So as a result that's what I started doing, plus I've found it a good way of branching out and opening my music to a wider audience - in other words you!

The other reason I'm here, and also the original reason I got this account, is I'm a bit of an amateur photographer. By no stretch of the imagination do I think I'm any good, but sometimes I get lucky and manage to capture something interesting that you, the deviantART community may find interesting (or not, if so sorry).

So yeah that's about it. If you have any ideas for songs you'd like me to cover please let me know, I'm always open to suggestions. I also play guitar (as you can see) and sing so if you want me to do something along those lines let me know. (I'm thinking about starting something like that on my youtube channel but I'd obviously post the tab here like I have been with the piano tributes).

Oh my god its 2:53am in the UK, why am I still up?! lol.

I just wanted to keep you all up to date on what's happening at the moment regarding my profile here and on youtube. Recently I put up a cover of Attack by 30 seconds to mars, so far its only been up about 3 days and the response to it has been surprising lol. On youtube it has almost reached 100 views (in 3 days)! on here ive lost count of how many messages i get saying people have faved it/commented etc. and as a result, people have been looking at my other cover more (especially closer to the edge, but that probably because they're in the same group on here lol). I just wanted to say another big thank you to those of you who have taken the time to view and listen to my work. I arrange each piece myself and sometimes it can take a while to get a particular part to sound just right so youre support so far is really appreciated. Also, to all of you who are watching me (especially the newest ones who just discovered me in the last couple of days), thank you for your support. Seeing that someone new wants to keep a running tab on stuff i release means a lot :)

Anyway, an update you'll probably care about now. I have a lot of plans for videos at the moment for youtube, including a few collaborations with other youtubers that im looking forward to. I dont want to give anything away too soon, especially if something goes wrong, but keep an eye on my channel, soon you might see a video that doesnt just involve me =P Im also in the process of getting together my own little recording studio (Im a university student and i live in a small flat and sadly i dont have enough equipment to do proper recording) but hopefully that'll all change soon and i'll be starting to record my own stuff, if that interests any of you lol.

The last thing i want to say, before I go to bed, is that i need all your help. Im really happy with the way things a going at the moment for my piano covers, people like what i put up and its all gone well so far. what i would like from all of you, if it's not too much to ask, is for you to help me become more well known. i dont mean for you to go completely out of your way for me, but if you could share my music with people you know (post a link on facebook, tweet my youtube channel, subscribe to me etc.) then i'd be forever grateful to you. the more views/subscribers/comments/faves/whatever i get on youtube (and here) the longer ill be able to keep doing this for all of you :)

Thank you for reading my continuous babbling if you made it this far. if there's spelling/grammar mistakes im sorry but its really late, i stop caring about paragraphing and sentence structure at around 11pm =P I love you guys and thank you for supporting me :)

Love Josh x x x

There's no poetry or romance in war, it's brutal, ugly and terrifying and it turns men into animals - shrieking, screaming and running while destroying all in their path:It is survival. And I feel an attraction to go there even though its hell.
