Josh Ramsay
Joshua Keeler Ramsay (born 11 June 1985) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, producer, recording engineer, and multi-instrumentalist. He is best known for being the lead vocalist of the pop rock band Marianas Trench. He has produced and has written songs for a wide array of artists including Carly Rae Jepsen, Nickelback, Jessica Lee, Faber Drive, and Suzie McNeil. He also released his debut studio album, The Josh Ramsay Show in 2022.
Josh Ramsay was born in Vancouver, British Columbia and he is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States. He went to high school at Magee Secondary School, where he was later expelled due to his heroin addiction at the time. He sought treatment for his addiction at the age of 18. Ramsay also struggled with depression, bulimia and anorexia while in high school. He grew up in a musically inclined family, in which his mother was a vocal teacher and his father owned a recording studio (Little Mountain Sound Studios). Ramsay inherited that love of music by initially starting his own solo career at the age of 14. He decided later that he needed a supporting band. Ramsay got together with his sister, Sara Ramsay, and formed the band Ramsay Fiction. After that ultimately did not work out, Ramsay joined high school friend Matt Webb in hopes of creating a new band. They found Ian Casselman in an ad in the newspaper, who introduced them to Mike Ayley, Ian's roommate at the time. The four members went through many names before finally settling on Marianas Trench.
Ramsay formed the band Marianas Trench in 2001 and released their first self-titled EP the following year. The band later signed with 604 Records, through the assistance of owner Chad Kroeger and co-owner Jonathan Simkin. Their debut studio album Fix Me was released on 3 October 2006.
Their second studio album Masterpiece Theatre was released on 24 February 2009, and debuted at No. 4 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 5,000 copies in its first week.
Ever After, the third studio album from Marianas Trench, was released on 21 November 2011. It was certified triple-platinum by Music Canada in January 2025. The first single from the album, entitled "Haven't Had Enough" was released in July 2011, and reached the No. 1 spot on iTunes Canada Top of the Charts and Pop Downloads. On April 22, 2013, at the annual Juno Awards, Marianas Trench won the 2013 Juno Award for Group of the Year.
On 23 October 2015, their fourth studio album, Astoria, was released. This album includes the singles "One Love", "This Means War" and "Who Do You Love". The story-theme album was recorded in Josh's home. In 2017, they released "Rhythm of Your Heart".
On 1 March 2019, their fifth studio album, Phantoms, was released, including singles such as "I Knew You When", "Only the Lonely Survive", and "Echoes of You". The band uses the idea of closely linked emotions attached to love and death throughout the album.
The group released their sixth studio album, Haven on 30 August 2024.
