I'm John (he/him) and I love collaborations! Please comment below FIRST and follow up with an email using the link in my profile if you'd like to get connected. That should ensure that I don't miss it!

I'm a singer/songwriter living and performing in Minneapolis with the band Starter Boyfriend. For FAWM, my primary instrument is guitar (electric or acoustic), but I can also provide bass, vocals, mixing, and general songwriting. I'm fortunate to play in a local band and collaborate with other local musicians to write, record, and produce original music. I'm heavily influenced by #90s alternative rock since it's what I "grew up on". I'm not sure if I'm stuck in it, or it's stuck in me, but it definitely pervades much of what I create.

I've had a FAWM account since 2013 but have ended up skipping many years due to other time-consuming interests like filmmaking (or sometimes just...life, you know?). FAWM is usually very successful (making music with my friends) and I'm looking forward to writing and co-writing and listening to all your fabulous music!

Some of my FAWM songs are linked in my profile above. I regularly have a personal challenge to use every one of my guitars (and regularly fail). If you and I work together on something, I'm happy to let you choose which guitar I use. Here's a link to a photo album of them in case one provides inspiration: https://photos.app.goo.gl/YVGMuxuR8PqD4bzy5

Let's rock!
