Grammy-Winning Songwriter | Songwriter City Partner
Josh Kear is a four-time GRAMMY Award winner and one of the most accomplished and respected songwriters of his generation.
He is the only songwriter in Grammy history to win Best Country Song three times, earning the honor for Lady A’s “Need You Now,” Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats,” and “Blown Away.” His career also includes multiple CMA, ACM, and ASCAP Song of the Year honors. “Need You Now” alone spent 14 weeks at #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and five weeks at #1 on the Country chart, becoming one of the most enduring songs of the past two decades.
With 18 #1 singles, Josh’s catalog includes Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and “Blown Away,” Dierks Bentley’s “Drunk On A Plane” and “Woman, Amen,” Tim McGraw’s “Highway Don’t Care,” Luke Bryan’s “Most People Are Good” (which held the #1 spot for three consecutive weeks), and Lainey Wilson’s “Watermelon Moonshine.”
His songs have been recorded by an extraordinary range of artists including Keith Urban, Ella Langley, Meghan Trainor, Charlie Puth, Martina McBride, Chris Young, Darius Rucker, Jimmie Buffett, Labrinth, and many more — reflecting a writer whose instincts resonate across genres and generations.

In songwriter experiences and hybrid sessions, Josh blends hit songs, honest storytelling, and thoughtful audience engagement in a way that consistently delivers natural, unforced takeaways. Themes like collaboration, creativity, resilience, and perseverence emerge organically through the stories behind the songs.
