About Me


Hey, welcome to my myspace page!
Feel free to message/comment and tell me what's on your mind.
----------------------------
"The thriving city of Los Angeles exposed Kappas to music at an early age, with the budding songwriter taking up instruments as early as 7 years old, when he began to learn classical piano. He switched to a contemporary jazz method of training at the age of 11, learning cello and playing in the school orchestra in the process. After surrounding himself in an array of influences and taking up two full-time instruments, Kappas began writing his own songs at the age of 14 in 2004. As he declares in the introduction of "I Want You" by stating fastidiously, "Putting my thoughts into words into notes and rhythm - now I'm ready to fight and defend," Kappas' lyrical content is very much in the mindset of a developing social observer, accepting the occasional defeat as a means to gain experience. Kappas claims that much of his lyrical content is derived from the people and real-life situations that compose his own life, with "problems and situations faced in adolescence and growing into adulthood" being a revolving theme. Though those who aspire for psychologically provoking lyrics with metaphorical contexts and political musings may find the content to be somewhat elementary, Kappas' outspoken honesty and genuine output is what establishes him as an emotionally ardent tour-de-force."

Hey, this is John and welcome to my myspace page! You may or may not know me so let me tell you a little about myself. I live in Los Angeles, California, and have lived here my entire life. I love hanging out with friends, and enjoying the never ending amount of things to do in LA. I enjoy all genres of music, and have a pretty wide range of favorite artists. My number one priority is living life to the fullest, and affecting the world for the better. Friends and family are a really important thing in my life, and i think that my music often reflects that.
