Raised in Miami, Josh Ceballos is influenced by the sounds of his Afro-Cuban heritage.

Although he started as a Latin percussionist in Miami, his curiosity led him to learn multiple instruments including trumpet, bass guitar, and the drum kit. None of these, however, captured his imagination as much as the piano.

Ceballos attended the University of Florida and studied piano under Dr. Kevin Sharpe. Seeking opportunities to learn more about his favorite instrument, he traveled to the Czech Republic to study with the European masters of piano and historical keyboards.

After moving to Orlando in 2013, Ceballos began working as a Guest Talent Coordinator with Disney Performing Arts. While at Disney, he coordinated high-energy workshops and performances across several Walt Disney World venues.

Ceballos now excels as a Music Director and a pianist, performing in venues such as the Dr. Phillips Center, Orlando Shakes, and Walt Disney World. He has worked along the East Coast, from Florida to NYC.

Ceballos is on staff at the University of Central Florida as a pianist for the Musical Theater Department, where he also provides vocal coaching sessions to many of the school’s talented students.

Since founding That Piano Dude (TPD) in 2017, Ceballos has helped theaters and performers from Florida to NYC elevate their work on stage. TPD also provides recording services and audition training/prep from his studio in Orlando.  Ceballos is a keyboardist and pianist with Violectric and Strings Etc., and an educator with Violectric Education Programs.
