What Is Josh Dun's Net Worth?

Ever since Josh was a kid, he sought to blend genres and make unique music. He took trumpet lessons at school before transitioning to drums and teaching himself how to play. This is where his love for punk rock music began.

As a 13-year-old, Josh eagerly dived into the world of punk music seeking out the fastest tunes he could find. His teen was shaped by the sounds of punk rock, particularly being struck by the genre mixing style of Rancid's album "…And Out Come the Wolves." Some of his early music purchases included Creed's "Human Clay" and an album from NOFX, with the track "Higher" holding a place as a personal favorite.

In March 2010, Dun joined House of Heroes as the replacement for the band's drummer, Colin Rigsby, who had taken a break to spend more time with his family.  He appeared in the music video for the band's single "God Save the Foolish Kings" and performed on House of Heroes' live tour until October when Rigsby returned.

He worked at Guitar Center for three years where he crossed paths with former Twenty One Pilots drummer Chris Salih, who eventually introduced him to his future bandmate Tyler Joseph.

Josh quit his job at Guitar Center, planning to relocate to Nashville, Tennessee, to chase his dreams of becoming a professional drummer. However, Chris Salih convinced him to stay and offered him his role in the band. Josh jumped at the opportunity and joined Tyler Joseph for a show after Salih and bassist Nick Thomas parted ways with the band. With that, he became the band's official drummer just as they were finishing up their second studio album "Regional at Best." The album dropped on July 8, 2011.

Joshua William Dun was born on June 18, 1988, in Columbus, Ohio. He is the son of hospice social worker Laura Lee Dun and physical therapy assistant William Earl Dun.

As puberty kicked in, so did Dun's pop-punk phase. Sum 41's "Does This Look Infected?" became his newest obsession, and Blink-182 provided the soundtrack to his awkward teenage years. When he first sat behind a drum set, the music of Metallica motivated him to improve his drumming skills. His music taste evolved with time, and he found himself drawn to the moodier, slower vibes of alternative rock albums like Brand New's "Daisy."
