“From the first time I heard Josh play I was blown away by his abilities.  Not only is he personable and fun to be around, but he’s extremely receptive and creative. You may not know exactly what you’re looking for, but if you have a general idea, he can expand on it and end up providing something even better. His contributions to my music have ranged from sound effects to a wide variety of instruments.  He’s basically a one-man show. His keyboard allows him to mimic many instrument’s sounds, but he is able to take on the feel of the instrument and play it genuinely.”

-Oren Meddelin, Singer/Songwriter

“Josh Cavazos was an outstanding master’s student in composition, producing some brilliant creative work. One was a commission from Texas State to compose special music for brass performances at TXST Commencement. His work, BIG AND BRIGHT, is a wonderful weaving of the “Stars at night” tune of Deep in the Heart of Texas. His fun, imaginative setting has become a thrilling tradition at every Texas State Commencement ceremony, performed by the TXST Ceremonial Brass.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Josh since his birth. Through the years I saw how this young man was “called" to play piano. He has played on several of my recordings and has given the songs a special touch. His character and integrity rate high in his life, and he does all this with such humility. My go to for piano. Highly recommend him.”

-John David Martinez, Singer/Songwriter 

 

Josh's passion for music is beyond words. His ability to play several genres of music, from Gospel to Rock, Jazz, Contemporary Christian, and Classical music is enviable.  Recently, I was asked to sing at a Mental Health Summit, for veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I decided I would sing "Stand By Me".  Because they wanted me to sing with a track, I worked with Josh to create one. The day of the performance, there wasn't a dry eye in the audience.
