Creative explorer of all things audio visual; Jonny Boy has been flying under the electronica radar for a while. 

One of the co-founders of Culture Glitch Records, JB has been involved with signing, promoting and distributing music for artists across the UK and Ireland. 

To date, Culture Glitch has released tracks from artists such as The Cyclist, Ryan Vail, Best boy Grip, Shammen Delly and The Crimson Underground. 

For almost 20 years, Jonny has been DJing and hoarding good music to spin at many respected events, such as Celtronic Music Festival, Electric Picnic, Life Festival, Sunflower Festival, Stendhal Festival, Airbound - Croatia and more. 

More recently, Jonny's DJ sets have morphed into hybrid AV type of performance where he uses turntables, mixers, drum machines and FX pedals, while mixing visuals using a program he built to compliment his sounds. 

A keen believer of sharing music and knowledge, Jonny opened Movin Music Academy where he teaches what he loves in one of Irelands finest electronic studios.

Banda Nella Nebbia won the Grand Prix at the 2015 Polish Radio New Tradition Festival, while its leader, performing under the stage name Franciszek Szpilman, received the Czesław Niemen Award for Outstanding Stage Personality.

Their debut album features eight tracks recorded at the Polish Radio S4 Studio in spring 2016.

„To my ear, the music sounded like “folkloric Shostakovich” with minimalist John Adams and blues in the background. (...) A group of young talented artists convinced me from the first notes. (...) One can feel hard work on reheasing material, and deep commitment in playing.” MARIA POMIANOWSKA

„Grand music, like NoMeansNo, Primus, Faith No More and John Zorn joined forces with John Coltrane and Frank London. Soon whole world will know this band, I wish them the best and keep my fingers crossed!” MACIEJ SZAJKOWSKI

Radical Ethno: no one has managed to devise a more appropriate label for Banda Nella Nebbia, which skillfully marries wild, primal energy with technical virtuosity. While formally sophisticated in style, their music is performed with fluency and ease, making it both transparent and readily appealing.

BNN’s music borrows heavily from a wide range of popular music, including Frank Zappa, Les Claypool and Primus, John Zorn, and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, but traditional Lithuanian, klezmer, and Polish themes are equally important inspirations for them. While rooting their sound in diverse sources of traditional music, Banda Nella Nebia shape their original style by intentionally deconstructing pop-culture clichés, taking us on an unexpected, uncanny, and breathtaking rollercoaster ride.

Cormac Dermody (fiddle), Radie Peat (concertina and harmonium) and Brian Flanagan (five-string banjo) play traditional songs and tunes from both sides of the Atlantic. Murder ballads, barn-dances, whaling songs and old-time tunes are treated with an emphasis on harmony and swelling, droning, chordal arrangements.

I make music when I can, I mostly make music on the piano, so this is only a portion of my music. Please listen, share and give me feedback. Thank you.
