John Zonn
Professional Name "John Zonn"

Hi, I write songs about everyday things and I do live performances; sometimes I record too. From a varied background growing up in south-east England, I’ve moved about a bit and visited a few places. I’ve been in bands since I was 12 and have been doing solo work for 11 years now, with a few minor successes! You could read more about these at my own personal webpages (http://www.johnzonn.co.uk), but to summarize – currently, things are going well, with a couple of interviews, some reviews and a few accolades to my name. I was also given the opportunity to be a judge this summer (2008), for the 1st Native-E (Native American & Canadian Aboriginal) Music Awards, which was excellent!

Portfolio Career

"With the proliferation of singer-songwriters available for
your delectation how do you manage to separate the
wheat from the chaff? Well my friend this is where I
come in, pointing you in the direction of John Zonn.
"Who?" I hear you cry. Well that doesn't really matter,
you just need to feel the warmth of the acoustic
songs that make up 'Portfolio Career', a selection of
songs from John's back catalogue re-recorded first
take in the studio. This decision is one that pays
dividends, as the rough unpolished edges are one of
the things that makes these songs special. The other
is that he writes lyrics that are at turns, funny,
heartfelt, happy, sad and much more about a range of
everyday subjects. The album features some intricate
guitar playing which can almost appear flamenco
at times ('You Make Me Melt') and some accentuated,
near crooning vocals. If by nothing else the
album justifies itself over the space of one song,
the heart rendingly sad 'Hands Of The Brewery'."
