Josh Pyke is an Australian singer-songwriting musician. Josh Pyke was in his first band by age 12 and played his first performance in front of 650 parents and students at his primary school graduation. Playing guitar and initial song writing efforts came aged 14. Despite his aptitude for song writing and performance, he stayed 'under the radar' throughout his high school years at Fort Street High School.

Whilst part of Sydney band An Empty Flight he successfully applied for a grant from the Music Board of the Australia Council under the Buzz Project to remix a number of his own demo recordings to be released as an EP Current Works Volume 1, under the name of Night Hour. The lead track, "Kids Don't Sell Their Hopes So Fast" received wide-ranging radio airplay, on national youth broadcaster Triple J and on various community radio stations including 3RRR in Melbourne and Fbi in Sydney. In 2004 Pyke won the Jaxter Music Award for his single "Kids Don't Sell Their Hopes So Fast". The proceeds went towards a home studio, which enabled him to concentrate on his solo output and songs that were to become his debut mini-album Feeding The Wolves. Pyke released his debut album, Memories & Dust, on 10 March 2007 and it debuted at no.4 on the Australian ARIA Album Chart. He also guest programmed rage on that date. The lead single from the new album, entitled "Lines on Palms", hit Australian airwaves in mid-January. When fans pre-ordered Memories & Dust through the fanclub website, they received a bonus CD of the live private show Josh did at The Wesley Anne in Northcote, Victoria in 2006. Pyke's Third album "Only Sparrows" was released 19 August 2011 and debuted at #4 on the ARIA Charts. Written on the road and in New York City and recorded back home with ARIA Award-winning producer Wayne Connolly, Only Sparrows is an album that saw Pyke take a leap as an artist.

In late November 2011 Pyke released a new song off his album, singing harmonies with Katy Steele from Perth, now living in New York, in the intimate new song 'Punch in the Heart.' Its video sees both singers in a split-screen view performing twin one-take recordings singing to the camera. For the 2011 annual ARIA Awards, Pyke was nominated for 3 awards: Best Male Artist, and with Wayne Connolly- Engineer Of The Year and Producer of The Year.
