As a songwriter and performer, John sticks to what he knows, always relating lyrics to his life and his experiences. "If you listen to enough of my music, you can tell what type of life I lead," says John. With the help of growing radio play on several Michigan radio stations, along with national exposure from GAC television, John is developing a large following. But there is more to this guy than just the music. This smart-cookie graduated with a degree in Finance from Michigan
State University and also received his MBA from Walsh College. Throughout college, John would write and store all of his songs into a Coca-Cola piggy bank and now, it looks like all that "saving up" has paid off!
