Hello! I’m John.
I’ve been a musician my whole life.
I started in kindergarten on the family
electric piano from JCPenney Outlet.
Across two decades of piano playing
and around seven years singing and acting,
I have performed in recitals, services,
contests, and sold‑out houses.
In 2016, I veered fully into tech.
I dialed it back to a healthy balance
and have since resumed talent work —
surprise, past coworkers!
I fit schmaltzy and serious roles alike,
anything that could use the nuance
and grace you only find in us humans.
I serve as an actor and musician to delight
and stir audiences, in group and stage settings.
I also offer talent on a contract basis.
Demos open in this page or tab.
Ones without links are still in the editing tank.
Thank you for taking a look!
