Josh Tepper is a New York City native, who recently embarked on his artistic journey, and with each step, he’s been winning over listeners with his enchanting pop sound. His musical odyssey traces its roots back to the prestigious Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York. He developed his vocal talents in this nurturing environment, setting the stage for his future in music before passion led him to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he majored in Cinema Studies. He still calls New York home, a city that’s undoubtedly played a profound role in shaping his musical identity.
His artistic debut came last year with “Built Me,” a single that showcased his shimmering indie pop sound with subtle undertones of alternative R&B. This track served as his introduction to the world, revealing a talent for crafting alluring melodies and stunning musical arrangements. Since then, he’s been on a creative whirlwind, gifting us with a series of singles over the past eighteen months, including the recent hit “Guide Me Meron.” These releases have racked up over a million streams on Spotify alone, signalling his growing presence in the music scene.
Now, he brings us the duet version of his debut single with “Built Me (Duet Version),” taking a step further in his artistic journey by collaborating with the vocal talents of Madisyn Shipman. The addition of Madisyn’s voice elevates the song to new heights, creating a captivating duet that shines from start to finish.
