Mosley began to compose songs at the age of 18. His ambition and talent caught the eye of a talent
manager in 1999. This provided and opportunity to write a demo song for an artist; who is now signed to RCA. In October 2000 Joshua started his professional career with Soundrama. During his time there he made many contributions in the industry and built a solid reputation for himself. There, Mosley got his first gig with Sound Transit; the leading transportation organization for the Seattle area. He went on to write for three national games; one of which is the official game of the US Navy, arrange for TV shows, and produce and
release the successful R&B album, "Trademark", from artist Taylor Mosley.
In 2001, Joshua went on to study under film composer Hummie Mann at the Pacific Northwest Film
Scoring Program. There he increased his skills in writing, theory, film scoring and knowledge of the industry.
In turn, this led to a professional and personal relationship with Hummie; working as an arranger under Mann as Music Supervisor on two television projects. Hummie had this to say about Joshua's work as a composer, "Joshua Mosley is a creative young composer who constantly impresses me with the quality and diversity
of his work. He is a very gifted individual who will make a mark on the industry in the years to come."
Also in 2001 Mosley teamed up with up and coming director Paul Gordon (Teen People Magazines "20 Teens Who will Change The World") on an animated short. Paul was pleased with the quality of work that was performed and it lead to an on going collaborative relationship between the two. Joshua is on board
to score Gordon's first feature.
Joshua was picked up in 2003 for representation in video game composing by Bob Rice; who is famous for representing the best composers in the game industry. Bob's agency has been the number one provider of music and audio to the game industry since 1992. Joshua is proud to be apart of Rice's roster.
In December 2004 Joshua ventured out from Soundrama and founded Selah Productions LLC. It has proved clear that it was a successful move. Joshua has gone on to score many more projects and produce albums. He has been a featured guest on a television show, and he was honored with a 26th Annual Telly Award. Joshua Mosley is a multi-faceted composer and producer with styles crossing over many genres.
