Josh Anthony, AKA Seasons, is an 18-year-old electronic music producer from Weobley, between Kington & Leominster.
 
He's been studying music at Hereford Sixth Form college - and at the time of his live session at Lakefest, was awaiting his results that following Thursday.
 
All of our live studio sessions and festival gigs since 2005...

On Thursday, we celebrated BBC Introducing Day by putting unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music in the spotlight.
 
It's helped launch the careers of a number of artists including George Ezra, Gabrielle Aplin, Florence & The Machine, Nina Nesbitt, The Ting Tings & Jake Bugg.
 
But - with 250,000 tracks from 120,000 artists now on the Uploader - just how do you get your music heard?
 
We'll be discussing the various way of getting your music out to the wider public on tonight's show.
