The year was 2010… Josh started making music when he was 15 years old, with his friend Thomas Burns. They worked under the name Quality Strangers and made low fidelity dream pop music. In late 2011, Josh built a studio in his room and began recording under the name Fiery Crash. Over the last 3 years, Fiery Crash has released 4 albums, 1 mini-LP, 1 B-sides compilation, and 3 EP’s. He plays shows around his hometown every few months. Fiery Crash started working with The Nehemiah Foundation for Cultural Renewal in January of 2014, just recently releasing his first project with them, In Clover. Josh is a Christian, but he doesn't make music that's exactly fit for Christian radio. As he has said: “My mother once gave me this advice: ‘If you ever start to feel like you’re defeated, or your fears have become irrational, don’t wallow in your anxiety. Stop thinking about yourself, and go do something for someone else.’ I don’t believe music is a savior. Rather, it is a gift, to show that, at some point, someone else has been where you are. The opposite of happiness is not suffering, it’s hopelessness. I have placed my hope in Jesus Christ, and I believe that enough to share it openly. However, Jesus didn’t die for music’s sake; He died for you and me. My music isn’t 100% Christian-radio friendly because I believe I’m called to help others through music, and it wouldn’t make any sense to limit my audience to one kind of person.” Outside of music, Josh is involved with his church’s youth group, as a worship leader, among other things. He likes running, and he loves cats. He also drinks milk on a daily basis, because it’s “real good for the bones.” A few people have had some nice things to say about Fiery Crash's previous releases: "Jackson’s baritone voice could be a dominant feature, a la The National, but he balances it perfectly against the other elements. The result are tunes that flow smoothly on their own and as a cohesive whole … Fiery Crash has kept the quality level incredibly high over this latest dispatch of prolific production … at this point he’s clicking on all cylinders." – Independent Clauses "A lot of the songs are surrounded with a beautiful melancholy but at the same time, there is a tremendous weight that is lifted with his delivery that provides solace … I enjoyed almost every song on this album and the tunes are a testament to how much better Jackson is getting as a songwriter. The album solidifies his abilities and makes me wonder if he is just getting started." – The Equal Ground "Practice Shots is a gorgeous collection of folk-tinged pop songs, peppered with brief moments of ambience and electronica, all led by the soft-sighed baritone of the record's creator, Joshua Jackson. It’s an album to truly lose yourself in, and we would suggest you do that right now … " – Gold Flake Paint
