After having grown tired of the revolving-door policy that seemed to surround the personnel of the bands he had been a part of, John McClellan began to place an emphasis on developing his songwriting skills. McClellan soon developed a knack for creating catchy melodies with evocative lyrics, often using clever wordplay.
A collaborative effort among several Cleveland musicians titled "It Came From Cleveland!" was produced under the direction of John McClellan. All of the songs included on "It Came From Cleveland!" were either written or co-written by McClellan, and the compilation featured a variety of musical styles including Pop, Rock, Reggae, Oldies, Surf Rock, Traditional/Folk, and Country.
Among the many artists John has collaborated with are: Tim Workman, Thespian Dean, Katie Knapp, Felicia Rosati, Sylvia Toy, The Surfadelics, Jimmy Dobric, Barry Branham, and Ted Demas.
John recently finished producing Felicia Rosati’s debut (http://www.myspace.com/feliciarosati), and is currently recording material for "It Came From Cleveland Too!"
