Ohio native Josh Melton, began his musical journey at a young age when he would listen to the likes of Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra growing up with his dad. After high school Josh attended nursing school for a couple years before he made his move to Music City.

While working as a nurse’s assistant in Nashville, his first performing stages looked a little different than most. Melton would bring his guitar to work and play at the residents request. Through their encouragement and generosity, Josh was gifted an SUV from a patient while on their deathbed. However, the car came with one condition – he would use it to travel to real stages and play for more than just a retirement home audience.

While working on his debut album, Melton stayed busy penning for others as well. In 2023 Josh scored his first #1 hit with Dylan Scott’s “Can’t Have Mine.”

As his reputation continues to grow, he’s worked his way into rooms with some of country music’s most notable songwriters and producers — Justin Ebach, Zach Abend, Matt Alderman, and Dallas Wilson just to name a few. He’s also had the chance to share the stage opening for acts such as Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Lauren Alaina, and more. Read more on Last.fm.
