Have you ever found a piece of clothing in a thrift shop that's just absolutely hideous? After you put it down, I walked in and bought it. It is now part of my favorite outfit. Despite the colorful garb, I'm kind of a nerd.
28 years in the music business and still not jaded, boring OR evil. DON'T ASK HOW BECAUSE I DON"T KNOW. (of course, I'm still renting) I have managed to cover alot of of ground during those years. Starting as an engineer, then mixer...remixer...producer...songwriter...composer. I am not rich and famous, but happily notorious. After all this time, I still love my work. I can't imagine doing anything else. I feel exceptionally fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such a vast and diverse array of incredibly talented people. They keep rollin' in. There have been so many through the years that I'm not even going to attempt to list and link them. For a complete and (nearly) current discography, go to: John X Discography

Recently, I took up flying trapeze classes and i LOVE it! I only wish I could do it every day, but it's an expensive habit. I have advanced from looking like a clown falling out of a helicopter to looking like a clown being shot out of a cannon onto the trapeze. I consider that to be progress.
Once I went to the firing range and did "artwork" with a sniper rifle. Target shooting is about precision, not violence. I have jumped out of an airplane, eaten alligator, AND, best of all, skinny-dipped in the Atlantic Ocean while watching a rocket launch at the Kennedy Space Center at 1:30 am. ALL of these within a 24 hour period.
I've hitch-hiked my way across the USA 3 times. I have not plucked my eyebrows along the way, but I HAVE been a "she". I've done karaoke in almost every city I've ever visited..
I can keep a secret and love to play pranks on people...I've been known to wear a watch on my ankle, though I can't read it at all...Sometimes I seem like a ballbuster, but the truth is that I REALLY care about people I love.
If you ever meet anyone from my family, you can guess that they will be total characters. I consider myself to be the quiet one. I have 4 older sisters who are my heroes. My mom is one of the only people I know who actually is supporting herself as an artist. My daughter Jessica is living proof that if you want to meet a great woman, you have to make one yourself. Thanks for turning me into a Grandpa, darling! I can't even begin to tell you how awesome she is, so you'll just have to just take my word for it.
There is Greek mythology tattooed on my right arm...I'm a second-generation, purebred, Greek, triple Scorpedo..
Although I tend to be a somewhat strict vagitarian, I might just eat ANYONE who laughs at my jokes.
