John is a performing singer/songwriter influenced by contemporary folk, gospel and rock. Immersed in the sounds of music by way of his musical family since his conception, it was natural to respond to that heritage through music inventions of his own.
John's love for music, interest in poetry and existential quest have especially inspired him to endeavor into the world of songwriting. John views songwriting as an art form to express the deeper wells of the subconscious through an honest, expressive medium that transcends poetry alone. He values his uniqueness through message and song while in search of universal truths.
An upcoming collection of 20 songs, give or take, are in the works. Unfortunately while in the mixing phase my family made a relatively sudden move from the Columbus area in Ohio to Niles, Michigan in late July, 2018 which included
and includes remodeling a "fixer upper" home we purchased = very busy. It was hard leaving behind my recording studio in Ohio but a new one is on it's way! ..and though the project has been postponed it will be finished
soon I hope. Currently I am having some zoning legalities that have slowed the process but the plans are going forward. It looks like summer of 2020 for the finish of the studio. Though the bones of the studio have been
erected near our home, zoning conflicts have postponed construction till spring of 2020. ~ John
