Josh Wilbur

Josh Wilbur is the sort of good-natured guy that can’t help but be successful at what he does. Despite his Grammy wins and numerous nominations, he maintains a modest attitude about his career, claiming he “accidentally fell into” mixing and producing. Born in Berwick, Maine, Josh began in music as a drummer in local bands. What blossomed into a star-studded career as a producer, mixer, and engineer started when he was recording his own tracks at Dizzyland Recording and discovered he enjoyed the mixing side of things just as much as performing.

Josh went on to earn his degree in Audio Engineering from New England School of Communications. After a stint back at Dizzyland, he joined Soundtrack Studio in New York, where he met legendary mixer Andy Wallace and the Full Force production team. Under Wallace’s mentorship he worked with acts from Lil Kim to System of a Down before quickly making his mark in heavy metal with Lamb of God, Hatebreed, and Sons of Texas.

His work on folk artist Steve Earle’s Washington Square Serenade earned him a Grammy in 2007, early proof of a range that has since taken him from Megadeth (earning a Grammy for Dystopia) and Kerry King of Slayer to Demi Lovato, Avril Lavigne, P!nk, and *NSYNC. From producing breakthrough debuts to mixing records for Papa Roach, Korn, A Day To Remember, Trivium, Gojira, Volbeat, Quicksand, and Teenage Wrist, Josh brings the same level of passion and precision to every project.

Josh’s approach is broad enough to work with any band. His goal is to make the music he works on elicit an emotional response from listeners while letting the songs speak for themselves. “If people start talking about the production, then I failed. They should be blown away by the music.”
