Biography
Willis started making music with a small guitar at age 8, then got his first real instrument at 14. Being surrounded by a family of musicians, with father Joe as the bassist for "Timothy Earl," and his uncle Paul as the lone member of "Paul Willis Project," Willis followed in their footsteps in 2001, creating the "Josh Willis Enterprise."

Willis is self taught with the exception of breif lessons from Joe and Paul Willis, which consisted of scaleforms, and different parts of theory. He cites guitarists such as Synyster Gates, Jeff Loomis, Guthrie Govan, and John Petrucci as his favorite, and most influential guiarists.

At the age of 10, he began to play around with recording, and music making in general, learning to play a broader array of instruments, which has affected his current work embracing inastruments not commonly heard in rock songs such as strings, piano, harp, and even Turkish saz.

Equipment
Willis uses entirely Schecter Guitars, and primarily, the Schecter Synyster Custom. He has announced that the purchase of the Schecter Jeff Loomis 7-String is highly likely, as he is beginning to lean towards 7-string playing. He uses VOX Amplification, including the AVT models, and the ToneLab LE used live, and in recording. Other brands used by Willis are Shure, Dunlop, Seymour Duncan, Monster, Sony, Ernie Ball, Blue Steel, and Elixr.
