About Me

The band called JCG (John Chris Group) takes its name from the lead guitarist and vocalist John Chris MEYER born in Paris in 1968. He started playing at the age of 15 and developed his distinctive rock guitar style quickly. His vocal training really began by accident when he stood in for the lead singer of his band called “Backstage”. He learned his craft over time playing on the club scene in the South of France. It wasn’t long before he was acclaimed for his soulful music and described in national music reviews as “The heart in the music between Hendrix and James Brown”. John Chris says he’s always been heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Stevie RayVaughan and James Brown. He became an influential guitarist and learned about the Rock Industry “machine” while working as a roadie for rock legends ACDC and Metallica. His band called “Lead Cloud”, was runner up in the finals of the Yamaha Music Festival but afterwards he made the decision to focus on his own compositions and produced his first solo project . JohnChris built his own recording studio in Metz near Luxembourg called “Esprit Music”. He formed the band called "JCG” at the same time. Many young bands and musicians find inspiration and help at Esprit Music studio. JohnChris is renowned for making other people’s musical ambitions a reality and that has made him a very popular musician within his local community. With a bunch of like-minded musician friends he worked on producing the band’s first Funk/Soul music project called "Crazyfunky". As a real rocker at heart however, he is totally committed to rock and has created another project. The latest Album called “Addiction to Rock” is a fusion of classic rock with metal influences and has a warm soulful groove throughout .... The band is currently gigging thro France. Watch out for JCG’s new CD “Addiction to Rock” and the upcoming UK TOUR. See you out there soon dudes.. Rock On! JCG live 2007
