John (26) was born and raised in Long Island, NY. Home to many famous musicians such as Billy Joel, Madison Beer, Jon Bellion, and more. John’s great grandfather, Henry Scurti, was a renowned musician, responsible for teaching Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats. After Henry Scurti’s passing, John quickly took interest in music. After countless days of hammering on his grandmothers piano, his parents decided to begin his journey studying music at the age of 6. Progressing through NYSSMA, different live performances, and eventually began taking on his first students at the age of 16, John quickly began to think of music as more of a career and less of a hobby. He attended Nassau Community College for a brief period of time for the Studio Recording Technology program which consisted of music business classes, and advanced music theory classes. He has successfully taught over 100 students progress in their instrument of choice for a variety of different goals ranging from as little as just wanting to learn an instrument for fun, to being able to play live shows for a living and make money. Now, John plays in a full time band, producing content for social media, and offers lessons for his years of experience on and off the stage.
