About The Artist
John is a fine artist, illustrator, and DJ working across visual art and sound. Born in the Bronx and raised in Brooklyn, his work is rooted in storytelling, rhythm, and cultural influence. His illustration practice spans editorial and commercial collaborations, with work appearing in The New York Times and The New Yorker, along with brand partnerships including Hennessy. Alongside this, his fine art explores more personal and expressive narratives, and has been exhibited at The Other Art Fair, with work held in private collections including that of Spike Lee.
DJing has remained a constant throughout his career, shaping how he thinks about composition, movement, and energy. He has held residencies at some of New York City's most exclusive hotels and lounges, bringing the same sense of rhythm and curation from his visual work into sound. Across everything he creates, John aims to produce work that feels intentional, engaging, and connected to the culture that inspires it.
