Joshua leyda.

biography.

Josh is a composer who primarily focuses on music for the Marching Arts.  Since 2019, Joshua has composed for dozens of competitive marching ensembles all across the United States.  While being classically trained, Josh is well known for his modern approach to composing, with each of his shows including fully-produced custom soundscaping.  Josh strives to bring a stress-free show design option for band directors of all budgets.  Focusing on integrating the entire design process, so directors can spend more time teaching and less time designing.  Josh’s shows have won numerous awards, including a State Championship in 2023.  Joshua has big aspirations in the music industry and is driven to inspire change in the marching arts.

Joshua has a strong technical background, mainly in software development and computer networking. He codes and designs his own website, combining functionality with clean design. Fascinated by new and emerging technologies, Josh is constantly experimenting with new programs. Early in his career, he gained valuable experience working at Charter Communications in Computer Networking Support.  Alongside music, he also edits videos for clients, creating polished, story-driven projects. Joshua aims to continue pushing the 
envelope, further integrating technology into the marching arts.

​Outside of writing music, Josh spends a large portion of his free time whitewater rafting.  Currently, he works at the U.S. National Whitewater Center as a Raft Guide and Trip Leader.  A few of his favorite rivers include The Chattooga River, Tallulah River, and Nolichucky River.  Josh rocks a Kiwi-Green Hyside Minimax raft and is convinced that it’s the best boat ever designed.
