Available to hire
I’m Joshua Wunderlich, an indie-folk artist and producer who loves telling stories through sound. I blend traditional folk with experimental textures and concept albums, releasing Heartsong (2021) and Unplugged Vol. 1 (2020), and collaborating with ensembles like Joe Broughton’s Conservatoire Folk Ensemble. My work spans solo projects, writing camps, and cross-genre collaborations, shaping immersive sonic worlds through storytelling and experimental design.
Beyond my own releases, I write toplines and produce for acts like DWB Music and WunderRiKu, compose for games and animation, and perform with Big Band of Boom and Punch The Sky. I also teach songwriting and production at the Academy of Contemporary Music and contribute to creative projects in gaming and animation, continually exploring new sound palettes and collaborative opportunities.
