I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I was born and raised in Southern California. I began playing guitar at the age of six and have been influenced by all kinds of music. By age fifteen I was playing in a band, doing shows throughout Orange County and Hollywood.
It was my destiny to become a musician. I believe music chose me. I can't imagine doing anything else. It's what I know and what I live and breathe.
I have toured/worked with various artists over the years. I am currently involved with several exciting projects, including my upcoming CD release "Get Yer Roxx Off!" that will hit stores in January 2008 and also my "Classic Covers Live" band PLAYGROUND w/Frank Dimino from ANGEL on lead vocals. Be on the lookout for tourdates and shows near you!!! I look forward to seeing ya at the shows! All my best, Johnny

Comments and testimonials;

"Attention to detail, appropriate guitar parts that catch you by surprise, and a full compliment of contemporary rock/metal technique make Johnny Roxx an MVP. His song writing construction is full of power and imagination. His approach to hard rock is stunning. A rock band's dream player." John Stix - Editor of "Guitar For The Practicing Musician" Magazine.............. "Hey Johnny, God your playing is so beautiful, oozing with emotion, but beautiful is really the word I want to use. I love your control and tone, just stunning command of the instrument....Cheers from New Zealand. Dave"....."Duncan and Johnny's rendition of the Beatles classic "I Am The Walrus is amazing! I like how Roxx recreated the notes on guitar that were orchestra. That song is really cool. Duncan really captures Lennon's vocals." - David Firmin (Moderator of RoxyMusic.tk and Andy Mackay site)............."Roxx makes unique magic with his guitar and makes it look effortless. He's such a sweet soul." Cher......... "Hey Johnny ... Just dropping by to thank you, Duncan, Kirk and Ernie for the most stellar performace last weekend ... We'll see you back here soon.
