About Me


My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/5/2006
Band Website: johndurantmusic.com/
Band Members: Band members??? Nope.....it's just me (and co-writers)!! I write, perform, and record my own songs. My studio is called John Durant Music Productions which is located just southeast of downtown Nashville. Most of what you'll be hearing on this MySpace site are demos. Some are just musical compositions or jam sessions I recorded just for the fun of it. I may add lyrics later...who knows! I also write and produce songs with my co-writing partners; and with their help, I'm building a very versatile catalog of songs, which I'll be featuring on this MySpace Music page and on the "JohnDurantMusic.com" website.
Influences: See my very long list of influences on my new website! They're listed on the left column of my "About me" page. Please click on the "Band Website link on this page to check out my site. I also welcome all who would like to exchange links or put a free "music/entertainment" classified ad on my website. Anyone interested should go to JohnDurantMusic.com to take advantage of this terrific networking opportunity. Thank you!---------------------------------------
Sounds Like: Sounds like??? Hopefully I sound like anything but the typical Nashville "cookie-cutter" productions! At John Durant Music Productions, I try to make each song different from my previous songs, and compose music that actually fits with the lyrics, not just another quickie Nashville "demo house" production. I do a variety of different styles from rock to classical, and even rap/hip-hop beats. It's difficult to show you everything I do with a "four song maximum", so I invite you to visit my website "http://www.JohnDurantMusic.com/" by clicking on the link in the "Band website" section of this page. You'll hear a variety of musical styles, and I'll also be including works I've co-written in the near future. Please check it out and add me to your favorites list. I'm updating the site frequently with brand new music, poetry, and my original oil paintings. Please check out my new online store for John Durant Merchandise!!
