I'm a producer, a performer, and a writer. I'm a rock drummer in a local funk band, and in my spare time I write beats and little songs and whatnot. I love experimenting with new sounds and programs, but for the most part I use Ableton Live 8, Propellerheads Reason 4 and Rebirth-338, and, more recently, Native Instruments Komplete 6. I'm currently collaborating on a Hip Hop/ Rap album with a friend, and I'm also constructing a drum sample pack for Battery 3/ Reason 4/ Ableton 8/ Kontakt 4.

Striving for a unique blend of Hip Hop, Psychedelic Rock, and something you've never heard before...

John (AKA "Yanni" to his friends), is an Architect by day and a Renaissance man the rest of the time. When not designing buildings, or drawing and painting, as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter over the last 15+ years, John has written, recorded and performed music for Indie Films, Theatrical productions, TV, and Podcasts (most notably Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast).

Yanni loves old Rock and Roll, Blues, Psychedelia, Art Rock, Prog Rock, Power Pop and a lot of music from the UK. 

Empty City Squares is his sometimes real / sometimes virtual band. The band's second album, "337" was released January 2019.
