Josh Beech

Beech was born in Bromley in South East London, England. He always wanted to be a musician, playing keyboard at age 10 and guitar at 13.[5] At 16, wanting to form a band but not knowing any vocalists, he began to sing. He became an apprentice at a British acoustic guitar company for a time, also studying music in college.[6]

Beech played in punk bands for years, experimenting with various genres and groups before forming Beech, his band with musical collaborator Oliver Som. The band is signed to Universal Music Group in Germany and Virgin/EMI in the UK; their song "Lovers" made it to number 12 on the German mainstream radio charts in 2013.[7][8] The song was also featured in the Warner Brothers Pictures family film Keinohrhase und Zweiohrkuken.[9] Their album Letters Written in the Sky is available for purchase worldwide.

Beech was scouted as a model by Sherrill Smith at a festival in 2007, soon booking a campaign for Burberry. Rapid bookings followed thereafter, including a record three campaigns for Levi's 501 jeans, as well as the cover of Vogue Hommes International, which was shot by Hedi Slimane. His client list has since expanded to include John Galliano, Valentino, Thierry Mugler, H&M, Moschino, Diesel, Givenchy, Topman, and Tommy Hilfiger, among many others.[1]
