Why this name?

I chose the name john-John stomp simply because the name "John", has been in my family for many generations. I added the name "Stomp" to differentiate me from all the other John-Johns' out there. The name also represents the fact that I can dance.

Do you play live?

I play live a Alize lounge in Clarkston Ga. Every Sunday night you will see me on the drums with my band, and every Tuesday night you will see me rapping. Every time I’m on stage is a special moment for me.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The Internet changes the music industry in two ways. #1, it helps independent artist like myself to share there music with the world just by the click of a button. #2< I think the Internet causes people not to buy CDs because it is so easy to download music these days. Therefore it many artist may not get the needed fanatical support which can help them continue there career.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I would sign a record contract with a major label only if the deal is good and fare.

Your influences?

I like R&B and hip-hop mostly. I also like Gospel and funk. You can here all of that in my music. I was influence by WU-TANG, Ludacris, TI and many others. I think my music is just fun to listen too.

Favorite spot?

I don't think I have a favorite city yet. I'm still trying to find out what Vegas is like.

Equipment used:

I use the MPC and the Triton studio to make my beats. I record with Pro-Tools and I have a Pearl Drum set for when I'm out gigging.

Anything else...?

I am usually laid back. I am in a relationship. I like to watch movies and going out to meet new people. I love the ladies and I also love chicken. So ladies if you know how to cook some chicken you get a plus in my book.
