Originating from a family with a musical background, it is no wonder that Josh has managed to make a successful career in music – his mother was a singing teacher while his father was a recording studio owner; he has two sisters. Josh attended Magee Secondary School, where att the age of only 14, Josh modestly dived into music, launching his solo career. Later he realized that he needed a supporting band, and alongside his sister Sara and three more local musicians, he founded Ramsay Fiction in 1999.
However, after this project failed, Josh teamed up with Matt Webb, Ian Casselman and Mike Ayley and in 2001 founded Marianas Trench, a pop-rock band which released its debut studio album, entitled “Fix Me”, in 2006, which was immediately rated gold; the hit single “Shake Tramp” peaked at No. 1 on the iTunes Canada Digital Download, and also won a SOCAN No. 1 song award. All these ventures provided the basis for Josh Ramsay’s current net worth.
Marianas Trench has released four albums so far, including “Masterpiece Theatre” (2009), “Ever After” (2011) and most recently “Astoria” (2015) of which all were rated at least platinum, producing over a dozen and a half hit singles such as “Cross My Heart”, “Celebrity Status”, “Fallout” as well as “Haven’t Had Enough” and “Shutter”.
