Raised in Chicago, Josh Erbmann takes on the persona of Vj NeXus. His relationship with computers and their ability to merge medias into new shapes began at a very young age, and he was writing his own visual codes by the age of 11. He bergan creating his own short films by 13, and a passion for cinematic arts quickly evolved. A love for electronic music blossomed during his highschool years, and the passion quickly led to the turntables. After 7 years behind the decks, Vj NeXus began experimenting with combining his love for music and his love for film. A short lived band, The NeXus Intent, allowed for the much needed visual experimentation, and gave rise to the persona that is now Vj NeXus.
