ABOUT ME:
I was born June 27,1961 in Brooklynn, NY. I just turned 49. My parents are both from ITALY. My Mom came over as an infant, but my Dad didn't get here until 1957 at 26 years old. My Dad started as a NYC Cab Driver and hooked up with a guy who worked for the Brooklynn Naval Yardand got my Dad in as a carpenter. In 1960, The Naval Yard had a major shutdown and all employees had their choice of where to transfer too. My Dad picked the PHILADELPHIA NAVAL YARD and that is how I ended up in WOODBURY, NJ, Went to Woodbury High, class of 1980. After high school, worked for the CITY of WOODBURY, and then in April of '81, I went into the US NAVY and was stationed on the USS AMERICA CV66 AIRCRAFT CARRIER. I specialized in weapons and ordinance. I loaded weapons on the wings of airplanes. I was part of the Air Wing on the Flight Deck.
My love for music has been with me since I can remember. My Mom has told me stories of how when I was 5 and 6 , I would stand at the phonograph player and rock back and forth when she would put on a record.Exposed to so many OLDIES and my love for ROCK-n-ROLL grew bigtime. Before even 8-tracks, let alone cassettes and CDs and/or DVD's. Music to me is my lifeforce. I put so much into it. I have 1 helluva collection of 45's. LP's, cassettes, CD's and my music library on the computer will rival many others.
MY past music production experiences comes from COREY WACKER of OLD SKOOL SOUND and LIGHT, STRAYMUTT PRODUCTION, HARRY COADY SOUND. I have worked with a great bunch of sound engineers in my time, COREY WACKER, TONY BRATELLI, JOHN FARRELL ( THOR) and HARRY COADY. I have done numorous clubs in PHILADELPHIA, NJ, DELAWARE like O'MALLEYS, JOKERS, WHISKEY DIX, O'RIELY's MICHAEL's in WILDWOOD, TIMBUCK2's, TRIOS TAVERN, NIPPER's 2, Sam's BAR and GRILLE, JD's, THE PENNANT (OLD DICK LEES), ROCKIN STONE, THE RAIL, HOT SHOTS, CAPTN's CORNER and many many more...I would like to thank all the people who never gave up on me and believed in me. This is the boldest move I have ever made in my life.
At 49, I now own my own buissness called JP ENTERPRISES and it involves music production. Bands that I have worked with in the past include: JAILBREAK, D.V.S, DEAD END KIDS, KRANK, LIQUID PUZZLE, QUEEN's ANN, REVENGE, UNIT, SORDID PAST, STAGE 3, NIGHT PROWLER,RESSURECTION, MOTORNATURE, REIN, BASEMENT PRIVELEGDES, HAMMERDOWN, SKELETON CREW, RIOT ACT, THE STAY WIT IT BAND, QUAGMIRE, BLACK SABBOTAGE, ... just to name a few. I do all the behind the scene stuff that no one sees. From STAGE SETUPS, to WIRING, TO BEING A STAGE TECH. I also have a 24 can rig setup ready to make any and all bands feel and look good. When I'm not stage teching, I am running my lights. I am am a photographer/videoagrapher and will shoot pictures and videos for any and all bands, which can be burned right on the spot after your show for you and all your fans. I hope to work with most of you here and there. This is going to be 1 helluva roller-coaster ride.
I , JOHN C. PISCOPO(JP), need to do this. Consider this my many thanks from my heart and soul in all those who believed this could be real and for believing in me
