Born in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and rooted in Albuquerque’s independent music community, Urrutia brings a dynamic range that spans ska, reggae, and cumbia to thrash and skacore. His music has taken him across multiple countries and onto stages alongside Caifanes, The English Beat, Café Tacvba, Panteón Rococo, The Marley Brothers, and many more. A collaborator with Audiomech (MGK/Camilo) and award-winning producer Lewis Richards (Dirty Heads, Sublime With Rome), Josué has earned nominations for both his band and solo work, all while writing songs that speak honestly to internal struggles, mental health, love, and the occasional bulldog.Home Cooked is presented by C+C Publishing and Ambrosia NM, a creative platform dedicated to amplifying New Mexico’s artists, musicians, and cultural storytellers.
