Josh Rael

Josh Rael has achieved a successful career as a National Recording Artist. One of Josh’s crowning achievements was landing a spot on the 2004 Grammy Nomination Ballot in the “Best Pop Album” and “Best Male Pop Performance” categories. Since then, Josh’s debut album can be heard on radio stations and internet radio around the world. Josh’s song “Time” was featured on the “Viva Fiesta San Antonio” compilation CD. Josh’s debut album, the “Josh Rael” CD is also available for purchase on itunes, as well as on the Best Buy, Amazon, and on the Pulsar Records websites.

After years of training, hundreds of live performances, and many grueling auditions, Josh’s career bolstered with the singing of the National Anthem. Josh used the National Anthem as a networking tool, allowing him to sing for many public figures such as President Clinton, Vice President Gore, Wayne Newton, the late Salina, Mario Lopez, and Governors, Senators, and Representatives from around the country. The National Anthem also gave Josh the opportunity to sing at dozens of professional sporting events and venues such as, Mile High Stadium, the Pepsi Center, and Coors Field.

Josh is currently working on a new album which is going to be a modern infusion of Pop Standard and Jazz hits. Additionally, Josh will begin performing live at lounges around the Denver area in the Summer of 2007. Check back soon to find out more information on Josh’s next album.
