Despite lacking any musical talent, Josh frequently shows up to recording studios (usually with a manager), and records sloppy autotuned covers or parodies that have the words changed so the song is about alcohol, or something alcohol related. The covers to the releases are usually selfies taken during the recording sessions, or him drinking at a bar. Although some of them seem to be more "professional." | |||
Josh's earliest songs were original compositions, those being Normality and Coffee and Boba, which both consisted of Josh "rapping" over seemingly pre made beats, possibly default tunes from a Casio keyboard.

| “ | umm no, I'm a natural. | ” |
| — Josh responding to being asked if he had a singing lesson before. | ||
Despite lacking any musical talent, Josh frequently shows up to recording studios (usually with a manager), and records sloppy autotuned covers or parodies that have the words changed so the song is about alcohol, or something alcohol related. The covers to the releases are usually selfies taken during the recording sessions, or him drinking at a bar. Although some of them seem to be more "professional."
Josh's earliest songs were original compositions, those being Normality and Coffee and Boba, which both consisted of Josh "rapping" over seemingly pre made beats, possibly default tunes from a Casio keyboard. Josh wouldn't record another song until 3 years later, when he took his first trip to Nashville, there he recorded 17:00 somewhere, a parody of It's Five O'Clock Somewhere by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet. During the Mr. Based Era, Josh recorded many song at the Quad Recording Studios, those sessions were livestreamed, featuring several crashouts and incidents, which led to both Josh and Mr. Based to be banned from the studio in January 2025. Josh has since recorded additional songs although he attempts to be careful to avoid showing the studios location to avoid a repeat of the incidents at the Quad studios.
Mr. Based and later Josh himself has described his genre of music as "problem rock." A pretty fitting description for Josh's music, although Josh's songs cross a wide range of genres from Country, Pop, Rap, Rock and even Sea Shanties; fitting for the captain. Josh's music can also be classed as Outsider music.
Josh's most well known songs include 17:00 Somewhere, Whiskey Neat and Liquor, Liquor.
