Live Animals is a culmination of all of life's experiences, exploring new soundscapes and expanding the consciousness of sound. Between his West-coast hip hop influences and his entanglements in modern bass music, LIVE ANIMALS creates a sound that transcends boundaries and blends genres, creating his own space on the map of the electronic dance music scene. With a background in percussion and music theory, Asheville native Josh Stone fuses melody and harmony to create pure sonic force. LIVE ANIMALS has performed alongside Random Rab, Cashmere Cat, Thriftowrks, Russ Liquid, SaQi, Nadus, Skymatic and more, performing at the Masquerade in Atlanta GA, New Mountain Asheville Theater, Asheville Music Hall, OneStop and more.
