He found refuge in playing his guitar and singing. (He was not allowed to play his guitar in his step-father’s house.) The first song he learned was “Tom Dooley” and the first song he wrote at 14 was “Wah Do Wah Do” (not one for the record books.) Never wanting to be with his step-father, John spent his childhood on the streets and got into trouble. Finally, at age 15, a Judge called him incorrigible. Not understanding what that word meant, he responded “Thank you” and the Judge sentenced John to 2 years in the Nevada State Children’s Home in Carson City. John shares this “was probably the best thing that could have happened to me and the first time I felt safe as a child or teen”. Before graduating high school, the principal suggested John Michael drop out of school and join the military … which he did … the U.S. Army, 25th Infantry. Milestones: Music has been John Michael Ferrari’s life; writing, arranging, and performing. Pepper Jay and John have been music partners for over 30 years. She produces John Michael Ferrari’s music and manages his career. Newspapers and magazines have been generous to John Michael Ferrari. The Los Angeles Times wrote a full-page story on John entitled, “No Earplugs Required” and concluded John Michael was the new Sammy Davis Jr or a young Bobby Darin. The Tolucan called John Michael a “crooner with a smooth as silk voice.” Multiple page articles recently in Hollywood Weekly and Pahrump Life. John Michael Ferrari awarded Triple A Album by the Fame Awards 12/5/20. Recently, named Rising Star by eZWay Hall of Fame 2020, awarded Best Peace Song of the Year 2020 at the Hollywood Tribute to the Oscars by Art 4 Peace for his song, “Like a Rock and Roll Band,” and awarded Outstanding Male Singer Songwriter of the Year by the Producer’s Choice Honors 2019.

Christopher The Grey “Higher” now available to College radio
Driving with unlimited passion and unwavering natural confidence, artist and songwriter Christopher The Grey leads with a vast background in music and a variety of noteworthy influences. Taking inspiration from the legendary Prince as much so as contemporary names like J Cole and BoB, Christophers music draws upon classic soul and pop elements as much so as hip hop. Often showcasing a skilful union between rap and melody, with simple yet satisfying soundscapes, his originals reach out in poetic, meaningful ways both his lyrics and his music speak volumes on behalf of optimism and inspiring positivity. Inheriting his connection to music from his parents, and fully indulging in the creative process and scene during his twenties, Christopher has witnessed all manner of artistic waves within the ever-changing music scene. As a result, his versatility and ability to adapt consistently allow him to break through with style and authenticity. Following a significant hiatus a few years back, 2016 saw Christopher The Grey re-emerge with two brand new singles and a step up to the mic at numerous open stage sessions across the US. His leading single, the smooth and genuinely soulful I Am Sorry, exemplified his eclectic yet grounded and honest approach to making music. The follow-up single Butterflies later injected a welcomed hit of brightness and a fresh melody into his catalogue, allowing him to reach out to a broader audience unconfined by either hip hop or mainstream soul-pop along the way. The upcoming album of the same name, Butterflies, is now set to unite every aspect of Christophers career and style to date, amidst a plethora of ideas and emotions that beautifully underline his good hearted intentions and talent alike when making music. While this is far from the beginning of his journey, its undoubtedly the start of a powerful new chapter.
