Levity’s Josh Tarum Is Officially A Doctor

Levity’s Josh Tarum is officially a doctor after balancing medical school with Levity’s rapid rise in the bass music scene Levity’s Josh Tarum is officially a doctor, adding a rare real-life milestone to one of bass music’s fastest-rising stories. While Levity were moving from their Electric Forest 2023 breakout into major festival bookings and a growing fanbase, Josh Tarum was also completing medical school in the middle of the group’s rise. As one-third of the trio alongside John Hauldren and PJ Carberry, Josh has long been part of Levity’s creative core, even during the periods when the group appeared live as a duo because of his studies. With medical school now complete, the “Dr. Levity” nickname has become more than a running joke, giving the group’s story a crossover between bass music, medical training, and a level of discipline rarely seen in electronic music. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Levity (@levity.music) Josh Tarum’s Creighton Medical School Milestone Josh Tarum’s doctor milestone is tied directly to Creighton University School of Medicine, where the university’s 2026 Omaha Graduate and Professional Program places him under Doctor of Medicine. The entry appears under his full name, Joshua James Canto Tarum, with Eagan, Minnesota as his hometown, giving the story a confirmed medical-school record beyond the “Dr. Levity” nickname now spreading across social media. The medical record continues through a public Doximity profile for Josh Tarum, MD in Family Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska, which adds another layer to the story without making the nickname sound like an official title. For Levity, that confirmation matters because Josh was completing this path while the trio were moving through the same years that turned them from an Electric Forest breakout into one of bass music’s most talked-about rising acts. For Levity, the milestone carries more context because Josh Tarum’s medical school schedule had already become part of how the trio operated during their breakout years. Earlier coverage noted that John Hauldren and PJ Carberry often handled live appearances as a duo while Josh continued contributing to the project behind the scenes, even though Levity remained a three-member act. That setup meant his medical path was not separate from the group’s rise; it was happening during the same stretch that followed their Electric Forest 2023 breakout and brought them into wider conversation across the bass music scene. With medical school now complete, Josh’s achievement adds a rare layer to Levity’s story because it connects the pressure of medical training with the demands of building a touring electronic music project. Levity’s Rise Since Their Electric Forest Breakout Levity’s rise since Electric Forest 2023 has become a key part of why Josh Tarum’s doctor milestone carries more weight now. The trio’s breakout started when John Hauldren, PJ Carberry, and Josh Tarum arrived at Electric Forest as fans and were asked the same day to fill in at the Honeycomb Stage, turning an unexpected festival slot into the moment that introduced them to a wider bass music audience. From there, Levity kept gaining traction through tracks like Flip It, which later passed 12 million Spotify streams, while artists such as Zeds Dead, LSDREAM, Subtronics, and John Summit brought their music into more live sets. Their name has since appeared across major festival spaces including EDC Las Vegas, Coachella’s Do LaB, Lollapalooza, and North Coast, making the group’s rise much bigger than a single viral festival story. By the time Josh Tarum completed medical school, Levity were already backed by Ultra Records, signed to Position Music for publishing, and working with a team that includes 2+2 Management and Wasserman Music/Primary Talent. Those details matter because Josh was finishing his full-time medical studies while the trio’s calendar, releases, and audience were all expanding at the same time. John Hauldren and PJ Carberry often handled live appearances as a duo during that period, but earlier coverage made it clear that Josh remained part of Levity while contributing behind the scenes. Now that medical school is complete, his place in the group comes with a fuller context: Levity’s rise was not only about festival clips, touring, and fan support, but also about a three-member project finding a way to keep moving while one member was completing one of the most demanding academic paths outside music. *]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id="request-WEB:479770ac-6c15-4fbb-bf65-4334eae952e8-35" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:479770ac-6c15-4fbb-bf65-4334eae952e8-35" data-testid="conversation-turn-72" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="assistant"> What Josh Tarum’s Doctor Milestone Adds To Levity’s Story Josh Tar
