Nieuws MEDEDELING !!
Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

Omschrijving | John Elefante was born in New York and moved to
Long Beach, California at an early age. He sang
and performed drums for his family band “The
Brotherhood” in his youth and has always
maintained a close working relationship with his
brother Dino.
His career really took off in 1981 when he
auditioned for lead vocals and keyboards for
Kansas in 1981. He got the job despite stiff
competition and went on to feature on “vinyl
confessions” and “Drastic Measures” writing such
songs as “Chasing shadows”, “Fight Fire with Fire”
and “Right Away”. He also took lead vocals on the
huge mainstream hit song “Play the Game Tonight”.
In the mid to late eighties he was involved with
some Christian artists such as “Sweet Comfort
Band” and “Petra” as a producer, etc.
John took a heavier direction in the late eighties
/ early nineties when he formed a record label
with Dino called “Pakaderm” and went on to create
the band “Mastedon” who enjoyed much success
during the nineties. If that wasn’t enough he
continued at breakneck speed as a label owner and
producer and turned his hand to a couple of solo
releases “Windows of Heaven” in 1995 and
“Corridors” in 1997. In 1999 he released “Defying
Gravity” which was his most rewarding solo album
to date, and Revolution of Mind. John also 3 time
Grammy award winner and has been nominated seven
times, he and his brother Dino also wrote and
coproduced the song “young and innocent” which
appeared on the multi platinum album soundtrack St
Elmo‘s fire
By the year 2010 John had been involved with 100
or so major albums in one way or another. His
songwriting abilities shone through again in the
2013 release “On my way to the sun” which featured
Kansas members David Ragsdale and Rich Williams.
It`s now 2022 and John is still very much at the
forefront of the music scene and here we have “The
Amazing Grace”, 11 tracks of the highest quality
rock. The song “Stronger Now” has already had an
airing on “youtube” and has had received many
positive reviews. If you haven’t already done so,
it’s well worth checking out. |
