Summary:
Most well known as the now ex-guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Josh Klinghoffer started his career at a young age, quitting formal education when he was 15 to focus on music. At the age of 17 he joined the band The Bicycle Thief, and it was during the recording of the band's first album You Come and Go Like a Pop Song that Josh met John Frusciante, which was the start of an extensive musical partnership, with Klinghoffer joining Frusciante for a few of the latter's solo albums as well as the short-lived band Ataxia, among other things. In 2008 Dot Hacker was formed, not long before Josh joined as a full time member of the Chili Peppers in 2009. As well as this, he has also been a touring member for a few bands/artists and has often contributed to various acts' work in the studio throughout his career. More recently he has started to release his own solo work under the name Pluralone.
Klinghoffer’s vocal style has had few changes during his career, with perhaps the only notable development being his increase in vocal confidence. He often uses falsetto in his upper register, though he has shown the ability to belt up to C5 and has a decent, if extremely rarely used, mixed voice that he has used up to F5. His lower register is used less often by comparison. He starts to become noticeably uncomfortable in the second octave, though he had shown that he can pull of some solid singing in that area when he wants to. Josh Klinghoffer has proven himself to be a prolific, diverse musician who has, both in the Chili Peppers and elsewhere, left a lasting impression on the modern day music scene.
