For the Record is a conversation series where we speak with all manner of music heads — DJs, music journos, indie label captains, record shop owners, listening bar kingpins, et al — about their stories + the music that makes them.
Having founded Crack in the Road one of the leading independent tastemaking blogs of the 2010s, Josh has spent the past decade working across A&R and management. He's also currently part of the core team at next generation music marketplace Serenade. He's a big believer in supporting artist independence, and fighting for a fairer creative economy for all.
