   About John Schmitt

A LITTLE ABOUT JOHN

John Schmitt’s honest approach to writing and performing music is a direct reflection of his experience growing up in Buffalo, NY and his deep connection to the people that live there.

“It’s a place that’s trying to fit into the new world. It cherishes little things, small advances, and emphasizes family… it works hard, and faces social and political adversity as they try to thrive.”

A self-taught musician, John began writing music and learning to play his favorite songs by ear at age 16. One year later, John began performing in local coffee shops and open mics. After several years of recording and performing with various bands, John pursued a solo career in music, releasing The Musical EP and now his first full length CD, John Schmitt.

John was awarded third prize in the New York Songwriters Circle 2008 Songwriting Contest for his song, "Ophelia"!

Thanks for the add. I loved Ophelia and Musical

By the way - you made the first worldwide best music list.

Musea Favorite Music from MYSPACE and YOUTUBE
http://musea. wordpress. com/2008/12/10/100-plus-best-music-from-youtube-and-myspace/

From Dallas home of the art and media revolution including Post-Bands music, the music so simple no one understands it, so radical no media dare talk about it, so fun everyone dances to it.

Thanks for the add!

If you haven't dropped me a line yet, I would love to know what your plans are for future production and recording.

You can see some examples of my production work on my profile.
