Biography:
Falling formerly under the very short-lived moniker 'Johnny Y', American DJ/Producer Johnny Yono was a late bloomer within the Electronic Dance Music community. Born and raised in a suburb outside of Detroit, Michigan -- his passion for electronic music began in the late 90's when he was sucked in to Detroit's underground rave scene. It wasn't until years later that he started to experiment with producing his own music but, strictly as a hobby. After parting ways with his rock band in 2000, he was bit by the acting bug and further pursued a TV/Film career in Los Angeles after heading out West in 2003.
His love for electronic music found it's way back to him in 2007 after seeing live performances by Sasha and Digweed, Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren. As his acting career was placed on the back-burner, Johnny quickly put a small studio together and began constructing dance music pieces and slowly developed his signature emotionally-Trancey, Progressive House sound.
As a DJ -- Johnny is certainly one to keep an eye on behind the decks. His heart-pumping sets consisting of carefully chosen tunes and overall physical presence and energy keeps the crowd alive at his fingertips. His mixes have been featured on radio shows and podcasts broadcast on DI.FM, AH.FM and Techno.FM. In the opening months of 2010, he cemented himself as a resident DJ at the famous Circus Disco in Hollywood.
Johnny's original tracks and remixes have been supported by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, M.I.K.E., BT, Sean Tyas, Roger Shah, Jochen Miller, Ashley Wallbridge, Ronski Speed, Lemon & Einar K, TyDi, Robbie Nelson, Mr. Pit, Max Graham, Ruben de Ronde, Flash Brothers, Noel Sanger, Kenneth Thomas, Fred Numf, Breakfast and Kristina Sky to name a few.
He is certainly one to watch out for in the coming years!
