About Me

For anyone that knows my old profile. Forget it. Too long, overpoetic and written by someone else (full respect mind Jeff). Thought I'd keep it short this time. I am from England. Have spent the last 11 years living in various different countries. Am currently in Vienna which has kept my interest more than any other city I've been to.Been playing music since seventeen but writing lyrics for as long as I can remember.My only standard for music is authenticity. If I don't think my music is coming from the right place, I won't bother with it anymore. Am not interested in being cool or fashionable. Just want to write down to earth, honest to God genuine folk music. I want to put back what I have taken from the music world. It has kept me going through the roughest parts of my life which, like for most of us, there have been a damn few.I have always lacked business imagination and have just focused on writing and performing but I want that to change. No point in writing if no one can access the music so I plan to make things more available in the future.Thankyou for taking the time to read and view my page.All the best.Boxer John
