The back story

For the last 16 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, and having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub




Biography
Simone Muzi was born in Rome, but now lives in London. 

An artist was born, in fact from the age of 3 years his mother would put him on a little stage and he would entertain the family by dancing to whatever music his mother played. Art is in his DNA as he is descended from the great Italian poet, essayist, philosopher and philologist Giacomo Leopardi.

From the age of 9 and for 10 years Simone trained in classical ballet. 
Leaders in the world of ballet proclaimed him as the next Nureyev, and there was a lot of excitement surrounding him.

Then tragedy struck when Simone was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a disease of the connective tissue. Simone now has to live a life with severe chronic pain in every part of his body. The journey to diagnosis was extremely difficult, because of the incapacity of many doctors who failed to understand an invisible and extremely rare illness.But in spite of this Simone was determined to overcome his illness and succeed as an artist. 

In December 2007 on a visit to Paris a series of events led him to book a hotel next to the cemetery Pere Lachaise. All his life Simone had felt a strong connection to Maria Callas which he could not understand. Now Simone seemed compelled to visit the cemetery which was something that he would never do, unless it was for family. It was a terrible day and he could not understand why he was walking there, but somehow he had to. Then in the middle of walking Simone felt a strong feeling in his heart and be turned around and there she was. The tomb of Maria Callas. A sign which he believed meant that he had to sing.

Coming back to London he started to research and found one of the best teachers of classical music. And by surprise he discovered he was a tenor
to the lower range of a baritone. Due to his illness it was really difficult for Simone to study but his determination and his natural ability lead him to find Downtown Artists.
