In this first‑person monologue, musician and content creator Josh Harmon explains how he turned his drum set into a sound‑effects studio, recreating cartoon noises with everyday objects to make universally understandable videos. A single Instagram post of a cooking‑soup scene amassed 25 million views, propelling him to over 20 million followers across platforms. Encouraged by his 99‑year‑old grandmother, he kept producing content, each video garnering millions of views. To consolidate his growing brand, he built a Wix website that reflects his “playful yet professional” tone, describing the site launch as a perfect creative moment comparable to nailing a video take.

When it came time to take things to the next level, I knew that I had to make a website. And WIX was perfect for that. I'm Josh Harmon. I'm a musician, I'm a content creator, and I'm a sound effects artist. I wanted to create videos as universal as possible that had no language in them so that anyone could enjoy them. And that was how I came up with the idea to do sound effects. I took cartoons and I used my drum set and the instruments, and I recreated all the sound effects to the scene where they're cooking up some soup. From the moment I uploaded this video, I just feel that something was a little bit different. It was insane. It was 25 million views on Instagram. I really didn't know what to do. And it was my grandma, she just turned 99. She said, you've got a good idea. Now's the time to focus and just keep doing it. Now I have over 20 million followers across my social media channels, and each of my videos gets millions of views. As my brand continues to grow, creating a website, it's the natural next step. And so I made a website on wix. I wanted the website to really represent me and my entire brand. And it perfectly matched the tone that I was trying to get, which is playful, yet professional. When the website came together, I had a similar feeling to how I feel when I've gotten that perfect take on one of my videos. I had a big smile on my face and I just was like, oh, my God, this is perfect.
