josh tavares Toronto Soft. Sensitive. Gentle. Well, none of those words actually describe Toronto-based alt-pop artist Josh Tavares, but he likes to think so. A music lover from an early age, his current musical influences include Lorde, Billie Eilish, The Neighbourhood, and most prominently Taylor Swift, who he says, inspires his current writing style, and in recent years encouraged him to take song writing more seriously. Josh began experimenting with original music at an early age, picking up the guitar when he was 10 and begging his teachers to perform his new songs in front of the class any chance he got - which wasn't embarrassing at all... Writing music is by far his favourite part of the creative process. Almost always starting with a title and working his way through the verses and chorus from there, his inspiration for writing comes from literally anything around him: his friends and family, TV shows and even occasionally eavesdropping in on a stranger's conversation waiting in line for coffee. Song ideas can come at the most inconvenient times, almost always producing the most beautiful results. josh tavares’s tracks 10.19 by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:29Z Cheap Gold by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:28Z ASHES by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:28Z tightrope by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:27Z love.like.hate by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:26Z BYE by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:26Z You Seem Great by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:25Z drinking alone by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:25Z Con Man by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:24Z That one party last year... by josh tavares published on 2021-01-31T23:08:23Z
