Josh Keith is the founder/co-owner of Prime Recording and primarily devotes his time to mastering duties under Prime's daughter company Nashville Mastering. While this is typically his main workflow, you occasionally will see him around the studio lending his talents to recording and even mixing. A self-taught electrical engineer, he's also the main dude keeping all the equipment running at peak performance or building some funky sound device.

A Columbus, Ohio native, Josh attended The Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio, then in 2003 moved to Nashville to attend the famed SAE Institute and intern at Emerald and Masterfonics' studios. After cutting his teeth on Music Row, Josh built out his own home studio, founded PR, and helped record projects for Dove Award-winning trio Selah, many indie artists, and dance remixes for Plumb and Nicol Sponberg.

In 2009, Josh moved Prime Recording’s operations to the historic Melrose neighborhood just south of downtown. Josh oversaw a lengthy renovation that turned a two-room recording studio into the dynamic, full-service studio it is today. Along with his business partner Derek, they have welcomed artists such as Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Lady A, Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, international and independent artists, and some of the most talented session players in the world.

In 2017, he produced and engineered a remix of Bishop Briggs' "The Way I Do" and a Caylee Hammack-led version of Rag'N'Bone Man's "Human" that served as the focus of the promotional campaign for the final season of the long-running Nashville series on CMT.

When he's not in the studio, Josh advocates for both good hockey and good dogs, like his rescue pitbull Alley.
