    About John D.

    Hey there! I am a singer, songwriter, bassist, and composer from Washington, DC, and I'm excited to meet you and help you start off or continue your journey in music. I started playing music when I was five years old and haven't stopped since; I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2011 with a degree in Film Scoring, and an instrumental focus on electric bass. I'm also a songwriter and have been writing and performing my own music since the age of 16. Since graduating college, I've performed countless times as both a backing musician and an artist at venues big and small, I've composed music for projects such as short films, and won awards for songwriting. I feel very fortunate in terms of what I've been able to do through music and I'm excited to take what I know and use it to help you improve your abilities as an instrumentalist, songwriter, or composer!
