About Me

Johnny M has been writing and performing music since he was a child. Through classical training and theory practice, he wrote his first song at age 16. But he's not that proud of it. Now, Johnny strives to create an organically-developed techno sound equal parts darkness and light, club and ambient, sacred and profane."Riddle" - Johnny M's first official full-length recording - is now available on iTunes. Johnny is proud to be part of Dark World International's fascinating and diverse artist line-up.

Still standing

I'm still here.  Really, I am.  I know I have been rather absent from MySpace as of late.  Life has a way of, well, sucking the life right out of you.  My job, my mind, my body, everything.  Things ar...

We could be heroes

À L'autre Bout Du Monde

It is a singularly strange sensation to see your world packed into dozens of small boxes.  Book shelves are barren, closets are empty of all but the clothes needed for the next six days.  Heirlooms an...
