+ Johnny is a pop rock singer, songwriter with a flair for writing catchy pop melodies with strong hooks who also possesses an exciting, live stage presence. Johnny had a major label contract with his former band Skin & Bones, produced by Andy Taylor and is now releasing his own music as an independent solo artist. To date, Johnny has six independent CD releases currently in worldwide distribution, enjoying both critical and commercial success.

+  Born in Baltimore, Maryland, by his teenage years, Johnny was front man for the regionally successful pop group, “The Vamps”. They opened for headliners such as Joan Jett and Modern English with regular TV appearances on Shakedown in Charm City. Realizing the need to showcase his talent in a larger market, Johnny relocated to New York City, where he formed the rock group, “Skin & Bones”, who in 1990, released their debut album, "Not A Pretty Sight", on Equinox Records, recorded at the legendary Trident Studios in the heart of London's SoHo district produced by Andy Taylor of Duran Duran fame. It featured a stripped-down, but accomplished brand of pop/rock blended with Johnny's extremely direct vocal style. Media attention brought about record sales that soared all over Europe, especially in Japan and Germany. After relentless touring across the United States, they released their album Madhouse in 1992. Next, Johnny was offered an invitation to Los Angeles to write and sing for television and motion picture soundtracks. These credits include songs written for The Heights, a FOX Network hit in 1993, and major motion pictures, West From North Goes South, and Hell High. Throughout this period of success there were unusual twists and turns that led him from New York City, on to LA, to Nashville, throughout New England, on to Boston where he was invited to appear on FOX25 TV with his band, The Outsiders. Memorable live performances throughout Cape Cod & the Islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, the Twin Rivers Casino in Rhode Island, then down the Eastern Seaboard to South West Florida. From great cities to quaint villages, Johnny continues to capture the hearts of many with his diverse musical talents. Ultimately, in the spring of 2010, Johnny relocated back to New England, the place he calls home, where he is continues to write and perform.
