Answer:

Josh Richards is a musician whom I greatly respect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whom is used when you're replacing an object.

Who is used when you're replacing a subject.

But what's the difference between a subject and an object? Basically, think of reversing the sentence:

  • Josh Richards is a musician ___ I greatly respect.
  • I greatly respect him. (Not "I greatly respect he.")

The subject of this sentence is I. The object, then, is him. So we must use whom.
