For over 20 years Johnny has worn many hats as a musician as well as a songwriter, producer, recording engineer, mixer, sound designer and composer. He’s used his talents to produce over 15 albums and writing over 200 songs with his previous band EYESHINE and has a new music project with former Eyeshine member, Polo Yazaki, called WHERE GIANTS FALL. Where Giant Fall released their Debut Album on Thanksgiving (11.25.2021).
EYESHINE
His band Eyeshine (2004 – 2017) was an American underground rock band formed in 2004. They found success with a unique blend of pop punk and post grunge called Edge Rock. The band gained a modest audience with its debut EP, How About That?, and their first full length album, Red Stripes White Lights. But it was their sophomore effort, My Paper Kingdom, that achieved nationwide fame in 2009. The album featured their award-winning song “Alone” with its honest and simple lyrics making a connection with a steadily growing fan base. Since forming, the band has self-produced 15 albums (Tone of Echoes, Sidewalk Dreams and Chalk Dust, Gone Tomorrow…).
They toured across the U.S. from 2006 to 2017, even making their way overseas to Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and Brazil. The list of conventions and festivals the band has appeared at is extensive, including performance spots on Vans Warped Tour and Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival.
Of the many notable achievements, Eyeshine won the worldwide Ford sponsored competition “Gimme The Gig II” in May 2012. Which led them to record and film their single “Stratosphere” with seven-time Grammy Award winning Producer Don Was and Krish Sharma. The recording process utilized a customized mobile studio built into a Ford Focus by “Mad” Mike Martin from Pimp My Ride. West coast news stations affiliated with The CW TV Network filmed and aired the one-hour special. Additionally, Eyeshine recorded another single “I’m Dreaming On” with Grammy winning Producer/Mixer Krish Sharma. Eyeshine performed their final stage show in Tennessee, in 2017.
