Josh Homme is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer who has left an indelible mark on the rock landscape, especially within the stoner and alternative rock genres. Born on May 17, 1973, in Joshua Tree, California, Homme has been best known as the founder and only continuous member of the influential rock band Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA), which he formed in 1996 after the dissolution of his previous band, Kyuss. With a powerful and distinctive style of guitar playing, his music is characterized by heavy riffs, a blend of hard rock with a stoner vibe, and a drive for innovation.

Homme has not only led QOTSA to international success but has also contributed to numerous other projects showcasing his versatility as a musician. His recent releases showcase this varied talent: from the cheeky "Lavatory Lil," which he recorded for the McCartney III covers album, "McCartney III Imagined," to a rendition of "Silent Night" that he released as a charity single with Australian artist C.W. Stoneking. Moreover, his work on the soundtrack for the film "In The Fade" (Original Soundtrack Album) has once again emphasized his ability to cross genres and mediums, further cementing his reputation as a multifaceted contributor to contemporary music culture. His career has also seen him as part of other notable music collaborations including Eagles of Death Metal, Them Crooked Vultures, and Desert Sessions, all of which demonstrate his consistent influence and relevance in the industry.
