ABOUT JOSHUA GOUZY

A New Orleans native, Joshua Gouzy was raised in a family with four generations of musical heritage. He has played a variety of instruments throughout his life, and cultivated his early musical skills while playing "by ear" in his church band. Joshua is a graduate of Loyola University New Orleans with a Bachelor’s in Music Education and a minor in Jazz Studies. He also has a Master’s Degree in Music from the University of New Orleans. In his sixteen years of performing professionally, he was the regular bassist with more than fourteen New Orleans-based bands, and has been featured on over 35 albums. He also established his own music booking agency, Magnolia Entertainment, offering authentic New Orleans music for corporate and social events.

For most people, that would have been enough achievement to last a lifetime, but Joshua knew that there was more to his evolution as a musical artist, producer, and composer. A global pandemic, a chance connection in the Bay Area, and a deep dive into the Sound for Picture and Games program at the Pyramind Music and Audio Production Institute opened the doors to his passion for composition and sound design.

Shortly after graduating from Pyramind, Joshua accepted a position at Keywords and is currently the Senior Sound Designer on the audio team at Turn 10 Studios, an award-winning AAA Microsoft Studio, working on the multi-award-winning Forza Motorsport (2023).
