His musical training began at the early age of 9 with the Drums and percussion and then adding Piano to the repertoire later on in high school. Continuing his thirst for music knowledge, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston where he studied with drummer Tommy Thompson and other great professors to hone his craft of song writing and music production. After Berklee he wanted to learn more about the studio environment so he went on to Full Sail Center for the Recording Arts where he graduated with a degree in Audio Engineering and Music Production.
As a Producer, Engineer, Mixer, Composer and Musician John is able to bring a unique blend of experience and talent to any music project. Whether creating a music track from scratch and playing the instruments or producing vocals with a singer and being their studio vocal coach, He can trust his musical instinct and experience to make it sound right. With my combined skills as a Producer and engineer, he is aware of all aspects of the recording process and am able to create a professional sounding product.
