Josh Ramsay

Josh Ramsay needed something to do while in isolation. “My goal was to try and do as many genres as possible, so it feels kind of like a variety show. I see it as my ‘calling card’ – not just as a songwriter, but as a producer and arranger.” The Josh Ramsay Show is a sweeping exploration of musical styles featuring collaborations with a wide range of Canadian singers.

As with every project he takes on, Ramsay wanted to push his personal limitations and challenge himself as a songwriter, singer, player, and producer. He played every instrument on his upcoming album (except horns), produced it, and co-mixed it with longtime friend, Dave “Rave” Ogilvie. That’s always been a defining characteristic of his output as with Marianas Trench, and in his role as producer and songwriter for artists like Carly Rae Jepsen, whose worldwide hit, “Call Me Maybe” garnered Ramsay a Grammy nomination.

He's toured extensively with Marianas Trench in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. When not on the move, the multi-instrumentalist runs his own recording studio, The Umbrella Factory, in Vancouver, BC.​​
