Josh Rees, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Team Member [email protected] Josh marked the start of his barbershop journey in the beginning of 2020. He initially sang with his university acapella group – amongst his group was how he discovered the world of barbershop. During the 2020 pandemic, Josh sort after choruses where he could continue to express his passion for the genre – he started singing with Fusions Mixed and Male voiced choruses. This led to him craving more barbershop, he then joined MUBS where he could participate in more regular rehearsals online. In 2022 Josh started singing with The Great Western Chorus in Bristol, where he also manages their social media channels! Josh recently competed for his first time with the GWC family at Sing 2023! He loves singing with his chorus and can’t wait to compete again! Outside of Barbershop, Josh is a recent photography graduate from The University of South Wales Trinity Saint David. He has been working as a wedding photographer for the past 5 years and loves being able to document great moment at Barbershop events! He has been fortunate to be asked by several choruses to photograph concerts being held too and is always willing to provide photographic needs! Within BABS Josh now works with the Social Media Channels, Hex Editor and now Diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging team. He loves being involved with BABS and is always happy to help when he can!WHY D&I… Josh not only identifies as a gay man but has lived with an autoimmune disease from a young age. I feel it is important that minority groups within the barbershop community are visible, in hope of making it more accessible and retain and attract new and existing members and ultimately keep barbershop alive!
