Young, Eager and Experienced

By Thomas Consiglio

Only 16 years old, Josiah Gentry already has two albums under his belt. As a humble follower of Christ, Gentry focuses all his positive energy about life into his music. His latest album features emotionally charged acoustic melodies. The profound sensibilities of these tracks define Gentry as an artist whose attitudes towards life shine clearly through his music. His album also features several electronic songs that offer a nice variety to the album as a whole. One track will be a subtle acoustic melody, followed by a harsh, in-your-face electronic track, followed by a more upbeat acoustic track. Each track is very well composed and thought out, and each supplementary instrument or sound is by the hand of Gentry himself. It’s the kind of one-man album where the essence of the artist seeps into each mesmerizing song. Josiah Gentry, the teenager, has exposed his talents at a very young age, allowing him a lifetime to produce music that, at the very least, will please the ear, mind, and soul.
