John started drumming at the age of 10 and he hasn’t
stopped since. He has held drumming classes, lead workshops,
travelled the world and collected a lot of experience and
also a lot of instruments. He is the stabilizing element in
the band who has never been observed in a bad mood, who swears
by self-awareness, fresh mountain-spring water and munches
happily now and then on a piece of fresh-picked fennel. His
singer identity with the Reggae formation CASHMA HOODY is
complemented by the discovery of his dark side with PERSEPHONE
– and this seems to please him too because his musical
diversity hugely enriches the band’s interpretations,
whether live or in the studio. In a word: we are very glad
he’s around. He also works as a music therapist and
leaves very few opportunities unused to contribute his irreplaceable
style towards new and interesting musical projects. The most
we could regret is that for a PERSEPHONE concert John has
to remove half of the fixtures in his living room –
herewith we formally apologise to him for this encroachment
into his private sphere!
