Биография

I Am Not an Earth is a music project by Long Island based producer and singer-songwriter Josh Freedman. Originally a side project, I am not an Earth slowly evolved into Josh's primary creative focus. In 2020, I am not an Earth released it’s 4th record The Sun, a blistering 5 track EP co-produced by Steve Kupillas (Brand New, NGHBRS, Coasta) The first of a music tryptic entitled “The Sun, The Vine, The Worm” The Sun is a deeply personal journey into the artist’s conflicts in spirituality, culture, and personal circumstance, viewed through the lens of a regrettable past. Heavily influenced by Freedman’s post-hardcore, punk, and emo roots, The Sun continues to develop a sound celebrated on previous I am not an Earth releases. In the aftermath of a series of significant band breakups (Of Military and Mathematics, Here your Proud Waves Must Stop) Josh Freedman made his first release under the I am not an Earth moniker. 2009’s Citizen co-produced by Joshua Silverberg (Edison Glass, Hotel of the Laughing Tree) was released to critical acclaim, but a return to performing in several bands (Our Own Ghosts, Lights Divide) would significantly delay his next release. Freedman returned in 2015 with the hastily self-produced and self engineered V marking the return of I am not an Earth. The following year Freedman released a re-imagined collection of older songs, called For You Were Made from Dust and to the Dust You Will Return
