John Fitz

Johns appreciation for musical quality, and the collaboration with his Grammy nominated producer, Allstar (Lloyd Banks, Gym Class Heroes, & Ludacris) created a dynamic fusion of rap music meeting a Motown melody. A musical style that John Fitz characterizes as Doo-Wop Rap. John Fitz, who hails from Wisconsin, always had musical aspirations, and a vast array of musical influences. I grew up listening to
Genesis, Pearl Jam, and The Beatles and eventually artists like Public Enemy, Redman, and Notorious B.I.G." Even though, John could not identify with Biggies hardcore street
reality, he appreciated his honesty, and the sincerity of his music. It was so appealing to me, raw and true, that I decided then to make sure that my music would reflect the mood, and the contents of my songs would tell some type of story...my story, that my fans could follow.

John always did things a little differently in his small town. While most of John's friends were listening to Grateful Dead, and Phish, he was more into hip-hop, and R&B. John Fitz added to his rap collection such musical influences as Snoop, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Mase, DMX, and Jay Z, and also includes R&B and Pop artist like Snow Patrol, Lady Gaga, Boys to Men, and Michael Jackson. John Fitz aspires to have one of the greatest compilations, and longevity in the music industry. This is the very reason he strives to create quality, really good music rather than just following the music trend. John Fitz with his 60s fashion sense, coupled with his Motown Rap Infusion, puts Mr. John Fitz in a lane of his own. John says, Its hard for me to think about doing anything else with my life...I feel alive when I am making music, and hopes to bring his fans down his lane for the "JOHN FITZ ride.
