At a very early age, Logan traveled with his mother, a DJ, and often performed
karaoke with her. By the age of 15, Logan was on-stage as the front man for the local
New England rock band Gunshy. The band released one album in 1996, but broke up when Logan was 18. After the breakup, Logan played at local venues for two years as a solo artist, hosting
open mic nights as well as performing, to hone his skills as a solo musician. In the early 2000s, he formed the three-piece band Josh Logan & Nobody's Business with hired musicians. Within a few years, he had earned the title "hardest working musician in
Manchester" from the local newspaper Hippo Press Logan was also one of 100 semi-finalists in the Disc Makers "Independent Northeast Songwriting Competition". In December 2004, the band released a self-titled full length CD. Its first single "Painful Breath" was aired on the New Hampshire
Clear Channel rock radio stations
WGIR ("Rock 101") and
WHEB. In 2006, Logan was one of the top 15 finalists of 25,000 entrants on the
CBS TV reality show
Rock Star: Supernova featuring
Tommy Lee,
Jason Newsted,

Gone Tomorrow, Here Today in 2012.
