Biography
The shorthand truth
Josh Forner is an two-time Australian Songwriting Contest short-listed artist originally from Melbourne who has shared the stage with some heavyweight names such as Courtney Barnett, Emilee South, Skyscraper Stan, The Weeping Willows, Anna Cordell, Tash Sultana, Marlon Williams and many more.
His sound has evolved to be richly emotive and vocal-driven, whilst still harbours the dark elements of early works, whilst subtly blending a more pop-focused approach to his newer arrangements. Forner released his first album, the 11 track full-length LP, ‘Leading to Nowhere,’ in March 2013 combining stories of love, heartbreak, young adult fantasy, social conscience and self-proclaimed “tragedy-folk”.
His multitude of life experiences have become evident in the next phaseof his songwriting, which culminated in a move to Adelaide in early 2020. He continues to work towards the creation and release of his second full-length album, ‘A Crooked Point of View.’
The result is an emotional and heartfelt performance - with plenty of ups and downs - which leaves the listener connected, inspired and whole.
