Josh Freese was born on Christmas Day, 1972 in Orlando, Florida but has
lived in Southern California since he was 6 months old. Having been
brought up in a musical family (father conducted the Disneyland Band
and mother was a classical pianist) he was surrounded by music from an
early age and began playing the drums around the time he was 7 or 8
years old. He started playing professionally at the age of 12 (in a Top
40 band at Disneyland) and starting touring and making records at the
age of 15. First with Dweezil Zappa and then the Vandals, pretty much
simultaneously. Still a member of the Vandals, Josh has gone on to work
with some pretty notorious folks in the last 10 years; ranging from
Devo to Guns n' Roses, Suicidal Tendencies to Perry Farrell, Paul Westerberg to
Chris Cornell, A Perfect Circle to Juliana Hatfield, Mike Ness to 311,
etc....he's appeared on close to 100 records. Aside from being an L.A.
studio musician (what he calls his "day job"), he's a member of A
Perfect Circle, The Vandals, and Devo. In 2000, he released his first
solo record titled 'The Notorious One Man Orgy' where he writes, sings,
and performs just about everything.
