Short Biography of John Michael Ferrari and His Music
A young John Michael Ferrari bought his first
guitar in 1962, along with a "How To Play Guitar" book, both from Sears, Roebuck & Co.
Since, music has been an integral part of John's life!
Writing it, singing it, and sharing it with
audiences bi-coastally. This passion for performing and writing
music has been the foundation of John Michael Ferrari's
career as an entertainer and composer. Who would have thought a lifetime in the entertainment
business would have begun with "Tom Dooley"?
During the 70's, John begain writing musical jingles for radio commercials.
As a songwriter, his "Dustoff", penned by Ferrari while serving in the United States Army in
Viet Nam, has been a favorite among Veterans over the years.
Ever The Entertainer
John Michael Ferrari, the cabaret performer, still entertains and "wows" music and dance
lovers across the country from the Playboy Mansion to the Farmers Markets.
A real class act, John and his band or orchestra
"Ferrari & Friends" perform nostalgic tunes from the 30's
to the 90's, soft rock, ballads, and show tunes. Ferrari appreciates a loyal following
of "Ferrari Fans" and they enjoy him!
And the press says:
The Los Angeles Times reported that John Michael is "reminiscent of Sammy Davis Jr
or the early Bobby Darin".
(July 9, 1993)
The Tolucan called our Johnny Ferrari a crooner with a "smooth as silk" voice.
(September 6, 1995)
and
Back Stage West recently described him as a
"Survivor In The Spotlight"
(September 2001).
Always The Good Samaritian
John continues to share his talents with many charity events and good causes,
including:
International Myeloma Foundation (2003), The Thalians Ball (1995-2002), Our House (1999-2002),
the Jonssen Cancer Center (2001-2002), Save Ballona Wetlands (2002),
to name but a few.
John also considers industry and community service important,
involving himself in such endeavors as the National Cable Ace Awards (Fall 1997)
and the Homeless Veterans Association (1996 - 2003).
Easy to get along with, it has been my absolute pleasure working with
John Michael Ferrari. I admire his creative talents, humor, and ability
to enjoy the moment.
