Hey everyone, I'm Johnny....lead singer and guitarist for my band CASCADENCE.
Music is pretty much my life. I love everything about it: playing, singing, listening, writing, recording and learning everything I can about the music industry. I've mostly played in rock bands but listen to everything! I can respect any artist who is passionate about their music and living their dream.
BIO:
I started playing guitar when I was about 5 and haven't stopped since. I went to school at the Musician's Institute in LA for Guitar and Music Business, and am both trained and self-taught in singing, writing and music business.
I've played in several bands since my teens and formed my own band for the first time about a year or so ago. It's been interesting creating and developing my own vision for the band; both fun and painful at times but I've loved it and can't imagine doing anything else with my life.
In addition to reading everything I can about engineering, arrangements and production, I've put my knowledge to practice with my own band. I think it sounds decent but I still have a lot to learn.
I'd like to broaden my writing and production knowledge by seeking out bands who need help with their songs but have little or no budget.
If you're interested in co-writing or getting out a low cost but decent recording, hit me up and let's see what we do. I can do a consultation via email if you're long distance or possibly in studio if you're local (NJ/NYC/Philly). We can collaborate on original material or I can help you with your current tunes.
My fees would be minimal, mostly to cover any expenses incurred, and I would require writing and production credit. So if you like what you hear, hit me up and let's see what we can do.
SESSION WORK: GUITAR/VOCALS, STUDIO OR TOURING
Are you a band in need of a hired gun for studio sessions or tour? If my schedule and commitments allow, I could be available, so get in touch with any specifics.
In most instances, I can learn just about any song in a day or your setlist in under a week. My playing will sound just like your recording or better. My vocal range is pretty broad and I can hit some pretty high notes. My experience is playing in young original rock bands so if that's you, let me know. I'm in NJ but can be just about anywhere for the right situation.
So that's pretty much it....if you like what you hear, leave a comment and let me know. Or just say 'hey'!
