Over a career that began in the early ‘90s Johnny’s played upwards of 300 shows a year worldwide. The BossToneS are credited as being the progenitor of the ska-punk genre and have released a slew of ground breaking albums. In 1997 they scored big with the platinum selling album “Let’s Face It,” and the number one song “The Impression that I Get.” With the band Johnny has appeared on countless television shows including Saturday Night Live, co-hosted shows on MTV and appeared in the hit film “Clueless.” The band continues to play live shows including this summers spot opening for Foo Fighters at Fenway Park.

He worked for a time in the Boston film scene and was the studio manager at Charles River Studios at its original location. During the band’s 3 year hiatus in the early 2000s he moved to Los Angeles and among other things worked at prestigious Hollywood talent agency Innovative Artists and was the sports voice for “Indie 103” radio. Following that he moved to Jacksonville, Florida to take a brake from the industry. He did however work on two feature films there, the Jimmy Fallon/Sharon Stone film “The Year of Getting to Know Us,” and HBO’s “Recount.” Johnny also ran his own production company and fronted the southern punk band All Night Wolves. Now back in Los Angeles, Johnny continues working in film/television, primarily at animation house Shadow Machine.
