Josh Melville

Josh Melville is an entrepreneur and nationally recognized author, music business expert, and artist's rights activist whose latest release American Time Bomb, has been his passion project 30 years in the making. Josh Melville's journey began in the year 2000 with the establishment of Moses Avalon Industries. Under this pseudonym, he became one of the country's leading music business experts. His artist rights advocacy endeavors and top-selling books: Million Dollar Mistakes and Confessions of a Record Producer have continued to aid artists worldwide for over 30 years. Additionally, he is a court-recognized music business expert who has acted in an advisory capacity to multiple State Attorney General Offices and the Senate Judiciary Committee in Sacramento regarding the music industry. More recently, Josh Melville has devoted his writing to publishing his passion project, which tells the story of Melville's father, Sam, both reviled and admired for his leadership during the Attica Prison uprising of 1971 and his political bombings to protest the Vietnam War in 1969. In his memoir, Mr. Melville delves into the turbulent history of the sixties: FBI informants, the Weather Underground, and growing up the shadow of his father's revolutionary legacy. After many years of deep research and wrestling files from the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act, Melville is proud to announce the release of American Time Bomb.
