Winner of multiple ®Emmy Awards and nominations for his music, John has performed on five continents, before every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan and regaled numerous world leaders including the former King Hussein of Jordan and Chancellor Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union.

A concert review in the Washington Post described his last commission entitled, “Portraits of A Theme” Overture for Orchestra at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall as having ‘iridescent colors in the world premiere of a beautifully crafted suite’ while Marvin Hamlisch congratulates the conclusion of the work by commenting ‘… with a name like Wineglass, it had to be good.’ This work saw its subsequent west coast premiere last fall 2011 in Los Angeles.

John received his Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition with a minor in Viola Performance at The American University and later received his Master’s degree in Music Composition: Film Scoring for Motion Pictures, Television and Multi-Media at New York University, studying with Justin Dello-Joio of the Julliard School.

Having scored mainly independent films and documentaries, several of his nationally syndicated commercials include music for the United States Army, American Red Cross and Texaco.
