Michael Jon

Originally, from Pittsburgh, PA., I have been wailing on the drums since I got my first snare at age 3. When I sat in front of my 1st kit at 9 years old, I knew this was what I was meant to do. I was first chair in the schools band until it was no longer cool to be in the school band. So, I bailed out in 7th grade. LOL! I formed the first in a long line of original Blues/Rock/Metal bands called Seducer when I was just 15, along with my brother, a kick-ass guitar player, who was a member of that band until he moved on to other ventures. Tommy Lee of Motley Crue was and still is one of my heaviest influences. Later, I became very inspired by Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, who cemented my life long passion for blues/rock/metal rhythms. Throughout my life I have played Drums in a number of bands including rock, metal, blues and a combination of the three, and have initiated the birth of quite a few more, fueled by my own vision of an American rock band. South Florida is a haven for music lovers and performers, and has been my home for the last 12 years. I am on the constant lookout for new ways to display my intense love of developing and performing original music, and am always open to new ideas. I am currently looking for musicians to start a cover band as well as doing original material. Please drop me a line if you are interested in jamming, to see if there is some chemistry and we can take it from there.
