Where did you grow up?

Josh Beech: I grew up in south east Lon­don on the edge of Kent in a small town. It was pretty sick actu­ally cos I had the best of both worlds as I was really near the coun­try and spit­ting dis­tance from the city.

How were you discovered?

Josh Beech: I was dis­cov­ered by my booker Shezzzzza (Sher­ill smith) at Mod­els 1 while I was at a fes­ti­val in east Lon­don three years ago.

When did you start modeling?

Josh Beech: I started mod­el­ing about three months after I was scouted by Sher­ill as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do mod­el­ing and didn’t think it was for me. My first Job was the Burberry cam­paign, which was really cool as it was with lots of other musicians.

Where do you live now?

Josh Beech: I have recently Just moved to NYC for a while. Not sure how long yet, but I am hav­ing a lot of fun. I am lucky enough to be liv­ing with a really amaz­ing artist Harif Guz­man and his dog Flip!

What did you do before modeling?

Josh Beech: All sorts of shit lol. I was at col­lege and before that I was work­ing for Tan­gle­wood gui­tars and Vir­gin megastores.

Most mem­o­rable shoot?

Josh Beech: The Tommy shoot I just did was really fun, but there are lots that have been really mem­o­rable. When­ever I get to go to a coun­try that I wouldn’t have ever thought of vis­it­ing, I have an amaz­ing time. I feel very lucky.
