Indiana native Joshua Ramon has musical roots firmly planted in midwestern soil, with over 20 years of experience in the music business. Initially, as a songwriter and instrumentalist, he wrote and recorded his first album in high school, circa 2002, working with renowned producer Dan Precision (88 fingers Louie, Break the Silence).
His diverse musical career includes serving as a touring guitarist for The Phoenix Rising (Action Heights Records) and co-founding the avant-garde improv act Lamps, which evolved into the formation of another band, THEANTI. These ventures led to the recording of separate EPs and a unique split EP, showcasing versatility in both structured and experimental musical realms. The subsequent tours took him from intimate basement venues to the main stage at Warped Tour.
After the disbanding of these projects, Ramon embarked on an endeavor under the moniker 'Keeps,' culminating in a full-length album released on 11/11/11. This marked the beginning of a nearly decade-long hiatus, during which he explored new avenues and honed his skills. In late 2019, just before the global pandemic, he rekindled his passion for music by enrolling in music production studies at Full Sail University. A year later, he founded Pique Audio Visual (PiqueAV.com), an initiative dedicated to developing and endorsing emerging talents in the entertainment industry, showcasing both music and visual artists.
His commitment to fostering creativity and supporting others in their creative endeavors has become a cornerstone of Pique Audio Visual. Ramon’s portfolio includes the discovery and development of every artist on the PiqueAV roster, spanning both musical and visual domains. Delving into the world of storytelling, applying his skills to edit visual and dialog/narration for notable comics such as Skyline, Nervous Energy, and the Live Echoes series. A prowess in curation shines through successful marketing campaigns, catapulting Pique artists onto the front pages of zines, local newspapers, and national print magazines, with a standout feature in Relix magazine. An unwavering dedication to nurturing creativity and providing a platform for emerging talents has established PiqueAV as a beacon in the entertainment industry.
