John Roles
Hello ...I'm a singer, songwriter producer
and these songs are trying to make their way in a very competetive business. I just want people to hear them dammit!!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I toured across Canada numerous times with a couple of well know Canadian recording artists. Chilliwack and Gerry Doucette. I've done a lot of production work in my home studio, as well as radio jingles to pay the bills! Need a good demo??
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live for fun, usually cover tunes to please a wide range of tastes.
Your musical influences
I go from the Beatles and British invasion to Pop, Steely Dan, Reggae, R&B, Jazz and funk. I'm influenced by anything in any genre thats good!
What equipment do you use?
Computer (Nuendo and Reason),and my amazing $70 JVC condenser mike for vocals and acoustic stuff!
Anything else?
I don't do many interviews so...I'm shy!
