Johnny hardboiled is flamenco guitarist, synth player, electronic music/hip hop producer, scratch DJ, and ex b boy who does photography, writes scripts, books, and films.  It was on the journey of break dancing and DJing he discovered a bunch of music.  He learned sampling via an MPC 2000xl. Kanye West's mentor No I.D. had taught several Chicago hip hop producers techniques who taught him. He'd find all types of music during his time searching in libraries, digging through dusty Chicago record store crates like Dusty Grooves and online.   He would find and become influenced by artists who make their own unique music like rap from the heart of Tupac to the intricate rhyme schemes of Eminem to the scorching guitar solos of Zakk Wylde to the creativeness of Tom Waits and Bjork to the destructiveness of Rammstein and Lamb of God to the hard 808 rhythms of Lex Luger to the chordal melodies of Avicii to the DnB of Royalston.  He was learning and devouring music, and when he came across the only flamenco guitar instructional at the library, he knew it was something he wanted to play. For years he learned flamenco guitar and had great flamenco guitar instructors of the world like Chicago's Mehran, Pedro Cortez, and Jacco Muller. Now, he combines his unique musical influences to be creative in music
