In 2012, he made his debut by collaborating with the famous Tamil hip-hop group, Hip-hop Tamizha. He did a cameo in the viral hit song of the band named "Club le Mabbu le." It was his first appearance in an independent Tamil music video.

Josh started the first Tamil boy band, and named it "Namma Ooru Boy Band." In 2014, he released his first Tamil track, "Cosmopolitan Kadhali" which went on to get 700,000 Youtube views. Asked about the origin of NOBB, he recalls smiling “It was just an impulsive decision. I had been doing covers for about six years then, so just thought, why not give composing a shot? Creating an band and composing my own music gives me much more scope for recognition than me performing in background scores for a song featuring in a film.” Anirudh, the most renowned musicial in Tamil Nadu endorses the promotional video for the song which was released in November 2013.

Anirudh happens to be from the same college as that of Josh and they both even worked together in Maan Karate Click to look into! >> Read More... where Josh was one of the background singers in the song ‘Un Vizhigalil.’ He says “I am privileged to have witnessed and worked alongside with Anirudh in my college days. I have immense respect for his talent and happen to be a huge fan of his music. It’s very tough to meet the expectations of the huge TN audience which he has been doing for a considerable while now. Hopefully, I get more chances to work with him and other eminent artists in the future days.” His views on independent music is quite revolutionary. He says “The music culture here has always been content playing second fiddle to films. People would rather have songs featured in films enacted by their favourite heroes and heroines than have songs purely featuring unknown faces and musicians.

But this idea has been successful in the west, as the independently performing musicians get more fame and recognition. Hopefully, the same shall happen here as well.” Also when asked about why he is performing covers of others’ songs after becoming an independent artist, he retorts saying “Covers give you a chance to render something different, yet something popular amidst the masses. It provides us with an opportunity to showcase our uniqueness and talents to a larger audience.” His immediate focus is to maintain the integrity of the brand name he has created for himself. Another issue which he faces is the lack of sufficient funding for his upcoming videos. Hopefully, he negates this tough period and creates a name for himself in Tamil media industry.
