Josh Todd grew up in Anaheim Hills, California and later moved to Lake Forest, California. He attended high school at Trabuco Hills High School in Orange County, California and graduated in 1989. Prior to his days in Buckcherry, Todd fronted the Hollywood glam rock band Slamhound. In 1995, Josh met guitarist Keith Nelson through his tattoo artist. The two agreed to meet because of their shared love of AC/DC. They soon formed the band Sparrow, which later changed its name to Buckcherry. He later married Mitzi Martin, an American actress and model.

In 2001, the band released their second album Time Bomb. Josh and Keith went on to play a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne/Mötley Crüe drummer, Randy Castillo, alongside former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum. The band, for that show, was named Cherry Roses. The band went on to record about ten songs under the name "The Project" before the others decided to replace Todd and Nelson with Scott Weiland and Dave Kushner, respectively. The band went on to become Velvet Revolver. One song, "Dirty Little Thing", was written during the time with Josh and Keith and gives the latter co-writing credits.

Todd has released 5 albums with Buckcherry and one solo album. He also performed at the Canadian Live8 venue in Barrie, Ontario in 2005. He first joined Darryl McDaniels, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer of Aerosmith, and others on stage for a rendition of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and then later joined all other performers on stage for a version of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World".

Buckcherry and Josh Todd along with their manager Allen Kovac are all parties to several lawsuits filed by Todd Meagher and TODD Entertainment, LLC. These lawsuit were still pending as of 2011. One of the suits include a violation of the RICO Act claiming that Allan Kovac conspired with several individuals to "poach" Josh Todd and the Buckcherry name from Meagher and TODD Entertainment, LLC in 2004. Due to these lawsuits Buckcherry has been unable to trademark the Buckcherry name.
