Born in a musical family, Feinberg grew up in Lawrence, on Long Island, just outside New York City. He was introduced to music through classical piano when four years old and the bass violin when he was eight. "At 12, he knew he wanted to be a professional musician and often practiced music for up to 12 hours a day. In the next two years, he began to enjoy the improvisation in jazz and took to learning jazz drums. His teacher Dan Weiss was the first to introduce him to Indian classical music." He adds that the music of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pt Nikhil Banerjee made a strong impression on him.
Josh Feinberg is the best-kept secret of the Hindustani music scene.
