Early life
Josh Osborne was born in Pike County, Kentucky, and raised in Virgie, Kentucky. Josh grew up on US 23, renamed Country Music Highway by the state of Kentucky in honor of the many country music artists and musicians that had come from the area, and developed a deep love of country music, particularly artists like Keith Whitley and Dwight Yoakam. His father encouraged him to write songs because of his love of music, and encouraged him to listen to The Beatles, which made Josh want to become a songwriter. Josh graduated from Shelby Valley High School in 1998 and moved right after graduation to Nashville where he signed his first publishing contract with Warner Chappell Music.
Career
Osborne signed a publishing agreement with Black River Entertainment in 2010. His first number one hit as a songwriter was "Come Over," performed by Kenny Chesney. The song spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard Country Airplay charts. Osborne's song "Merry Go 'Round," co-written with Kacey Musgraves and Shane McAnally, became a top 10 Billboard Country Airplay hit for Musgraves, and has sold over one million copies to achieve Platinum status. The song went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Country Song of the Year, in recognition of the songwriters, at the 56th Grammy Awards.
Osborne has since written other Billboard Country Airplay chart-topping songs, including "Drunk Last Night," recorded by Eli Young Band, "My Eyes," performed by Blake Shelton featuring Gwen Sebastian, "We Are Tonight," sung by Billy Currington, "Leave the Night On" and "Take Your Time" by Sam Hunt, "Wild Child", written with Chesney and frequent collaborator Shane McAnally featuring Grace Potter, "Sangria" performed by Blake Shelton, Jake Owen's "Real Life", "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16" performed by Keith Urban, Tim McGraw's "Top of the World", "Setting the World on Fire" performed by Kenny Chesney featuring Pink, and the Grammy and Academy of Country Music Award nominated "Vice" performed by Miranda Lambert. Josh is currently enjoying the success of Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road", Midland's "Drinking Problem" (which he also produced), and Kenny Chesney's latest single "All The Pretty Girls". In addition to radio singles, Josh has had songs recorded by Luke Bryan, The Band Perry, Joe Nichols, Kelly Clarkson, Reba McEntire, Sara Evans, Easton Corbin, Trisha Yearwood, Craig Morgan, Rodney Atkins, Chris Young, Love and Theft, Faith Hill, Randy Rogers Band and many others.
In 2015 Osborne announced he was joining Shane McAnally's company, SMACKSongs as a partner and songwriter. SMACKSongs currently represents McAnally, as well as Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, and Walker Hayes among other writers.
