Every passing minute, decisions are made that change our lives. For John, this
defining moment happened in 1994 when his parents gave into persistence and he
sat behind his first drum kit. Since, he has had to shed away any existential
thinking, for music has provided meaning in abundance. Be it composing,
performing, or simply listening, John exhibits an enthusiasm that can only be
described as “Music = Life”. He is truly a musician with a radical mind,
disciplined focus, and creative heart; who - with gracious thanks and humility
- firmly embraces the destiny that music has granted him: sweaty balls and
ass.
