A native of Orlando, Florida John started playing piano at the age of eight, baritone saxophone at the age of 12, and guitar at 14. He has played with many bands of many flavors. From 50's Show Bands, Country, to Metal bands with long hair and flash pots, John has shared the stage with artists such as The Guess Who, Gary U.S. Bonds, and the Platters. For the past 10 years, he has been performing around Central Florida with Those 2 Guys, a classic rock duo. John's musical inspirations come from Jazz-Fusion guitarists like Allan Holdsworth, Scott Henderson, and Frank Gamble. The influence is evident in John's compositions that he has been producing in his home studio for the last several years. With a degree in Computer Science, it was only natural for John to utilize the current computer technology in his studio and start experimenting in some of the Gen-X genre such as Techno, Trance, and Acid Jazz.
