Josh Cohen is an Australian composer, pianist and ambient artist based in Berlin known for a unique style that merges jazz and modern classical music, as well as spirited live performances inspired by electronic music sets.
Josh Cohen’s innovative and improvisational approach to playing conjures all the dynamism of iconic electronic music producers merging it with the rich atmospheres of impressionist pianists. A unique synthesis of classical and jazz training underscores Cohen's sound but it is the sense of space, simplicity and intensity of emotion that have driven over 20 million YouTube views and granted Radiohead’s approval for songbooks featuring Cohen's idiosyncratic arrangements to be released by their publisher Faber Music.
Cohen’s live performances are also a defining part of his artistry, and his main stage appearances in festivals have fast become critical highlights and audience favourites. A series of live-streamed, improvised events have also enraptured audiences with their audacious energy and dynamism, a vigour which seems more akin to that of a DJ playing a live set than a classical pianist.
In 2019, Josh Cohen released his songbook ‘Radiohead for Solo Piano’, containing a band-approved curated selection of improvised and innovatively arranged Radiohead tracks as well as artwork by Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood. In 2023, Cohen launched his debut album of solo piano works entitled ‘Weird Time Signature’ via his new label DNTWIG at Kühlhaus, Berlin.
