His grandfather had passed away before he was born, but his grandfather had always been his inspiration for him because he always sang and Josh loved his grandfathers voice. Before the X Factor, he worked as a I.T. salesperson. He also starred in the West End rendition of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. A fellow contestant called Rough Copy was unable to participate and he was called back for the Judges houses along with his band mates (they weren't a band at the time). They were all given a second chance. He then went on to meet 3 boys who ended up being his band mates and even best friends. Louis Walsh decided that they were one of his final three and sent them through to live shows. They came 4th in The X Factor 2012 and they got a record deal with RCA.
