Joshua Dun

The doe-eyed boy with a dashing personality had been in a loving relationship with the very talented singer, songwriter and actress Debby Ryan from May 2013 but due to some personal issues, Josh and Deborah decided to break up in September 2014.

Josh was rumored to be in a relationship with Ashley Frangipane in 2015.

Josh Dun was born Joshua William Dun on June 18, 1988 in Columbus, Ohio in the U.S.A to Laura Lee McCollum, a social worker, and William Earl Dun aka ‘Bill’, a physical therapy assistant. Josh has two sisters named Ashley and Abigail and a brother, Jordan.

Josh had great affinity with music from the very beginning and he started playing the trumpet at a young age, but it somehow did not add fuel to his creative instincts so he changed his priority to playing the drums.

His parents had set strict instructions on the kind of music he would listen to, so Josh would seek advice from people of the local music store as to what kind of music he would listen to.

Initially, Josh started working at the Guitar store for three years.

He made his debut as a drummer by joining ‘House of Heroes’ in March 2010 after the band’s original drummer, Colin Rigsby, decided to take a break and spend some time with his family.

Josh continued to serve for the band till October 2010 when Colin made a come-back and rejoined his band.

In 2011, Josh was invited by the erstwhile drummer of ‘Twenty One Pilots’, Chris Salih to hear their concert. Mesmerized with their performance, Josh befriended Tyler Joseph, the band’s lead vocalist.

Later in 2011, both Nick Thomas and Chris Salih left the band due to their demanding schedules. This gave an opportunity to Josh who left his job at the Guitar Center and joined the band to help Tyler Joseph, the lead vocalist for an upcoming show. Josh eventually became a permanent member of ‘Twenty One Pilots’.

Vessel: the third and the most acclaimed studio album by the duo under the label of ‘Fueled by Ramen’ became very popular with the masses. The album comprises 14 songs of different genres including Alternative Rock, Indie Pop and Electropop. The objective behind the album, as Tyler described it, was to reveal the true faces of people behind the visage of false identities that people set up. Each of the songs helps uncloak the falsehood and unfolds the real nature of men hiding behind the façade. ‘Holding on to You’ was the most popular song, according to statistics in the album.

The song ‘Heathens’ from the album ‘Suicide Squad’ became a smash hit when it was released in 2016. It won the MTV Video Music Award for ‘Best Rock Video’ and the iHeart Radio Music Award for ‘Alternative Rock Song of the Year’.
