Josh Dion is a Brooklyn based drummer, singer, songwriter and producer. He is one half of the synth duo paris_monster, which features a unique setup incorporating drums and synth while singing. “Beyond this visual impossibility is a careful and deliberate balance of frequencies, colors, and textures. Melodies to serve a story. Chaos to destroy preciousness.”

Aside from paris_monster, Dion’s solo performances have been featured in online videos such as Tam Tam Drum Festival, Little Big Beat and Drumeo. He has also performed and/or recorded with John Scofield, Jim Campilongo, Wayne Krantz, Esperanza Spalding, Bill Evans, Lucius, NPR’s “Live from Here” featuring Chris Thile, and has been a guest drummer on Late Night with Seth Myers.

In addition to Dion’s performances and session work, he has given masterclasses and workshops at a number of schools and drum festivals including the UK Drum Festival, BIMM Dublin, Bell Studios in London, Halifax RAW studios, Lavra festival in Portugal, Silesian Drum Center, Chorzow, Poland, and JazzOnze+ masterclass in Lausanne, CH, to name a few.

Funkgurus are delighted to present Josh Dion for public and educational masterclasses and clinics internationally.
