Two Uniquely Different Sounds...Will & Josh Hoge!

Will & Josh Hoge are brothers and they have two different styles of music but they are both pretty amazing! Will has more of a Rock sound whereas Josh has more of a Pop/R&B sound. They grew up in Franklin, TN where the people believed in the traditional country style of music and they came from a music background. Their grandfather was a Jazz Musician and their father and brother both sang in rock bands. However, from a very early age Josh was influenced by the likes of Brian McKnight, Jodeci and Boyz II Men.



Josh’s career started quickly, hit a rough patch but now he’s off and running and in my opinion he’s gonna be a superstar. He’s a good-looking, sexy guy with a really sweet unique sound! He worked for a time in the mailroom at DreamWorks Record but he signed on with Epic Records and shortly thereafter released his hot single “360”. A little thing like a management shakeup at Epic was not enough to derail Josh’s career once he decided that he wanted to be a music artist. After Josh was dropped from the roster at Epic he did a lot of his own leg work. Months later Josh signed with Blackledge Music and released his debut album “Everything She Was”. His debut album was based on experience and Josh freely admits he likes singing love songs and I must admit he does it very well!! Josh released his 2nd album “This Holiday” in October 2009. While it is a holiday album it’s no less just as awesome as the first album. You know how there are just some Holiday/Christmas songs that some people just don’t do as well as others. Josh can do them all and once I heard him do “Silent Night”, acappella no less I knew I had to have this album. His most recent project was collaboration with Geico for a safe driving campaign geared toward teens.



On the other hand Will writes powerful songs about life including the ups and downs. He too has a beautiful and unique sound. In 2008 Will was involved in a serious accident when a motorist veered into his lane and struck him while he was riding his scooter home from the studio. Will lay near death and it took him 8 months to recover. He went back in the studio and came up with “The Wreckage” released in 2009 and his more recent album “Again Somewhere Tomorrow, a live album was released in February this year. It’s good to have Will back because he makes amazing music and his live shows and concerts are even more titillating because he knows how to captivate an audience!
