JoSH is a Montreal-based Indian/Pakistani fusion band. Their songs showcase both modern and traditional bhangra beats and music, but are strongly influenced by hip hop and pop music.
While largely unknown in their home country of Canada, JoSH is extremely popular in South Asia, particularly in India and Pakistan. Their sophomore album, Kabhi, as well as its title track, remained in both Indian and MTV World Top 20 lists for 26 weeks from October 2004 to January 2005. Additionally, JoSH was awarded MTV India's 2004 "Immie" award for Best New Non-Film Artist. JoSH is primarily comprised of:
- q (Qurram Hussain): vocals, compositions, lyrics, guitar, keyboard, drum programming, webmaster, graphics
