Biography
After years of various collaborations with vocalists, guitarist John Dissed began singing and recording his own songs in the fall of 2007.
As a guitarist, Dissed has spent the past four years performing throughout the Southwest with Los Angeles female-fronted punks, Bull Lee.
A song co-written and co-produced by John (“Mr. Madness” as performed by the artist Manda Mosher) was chosen as Rock Single of the Year by the Los Angeles Music Awards in 2006. He also co-wrote the song “Not What Love is For” on Mosher’s debut album Everything You Need, released in April, 2009 on Red Parlor Records.
In January, 2008, John announced that he would unveil a new solo acoustic track per week for the entire year. Alternating between originals and covers by such artists as David Bowie, The Clash, Johnny Thunders, The Ramones, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, the songs were announced via Myspace Bulletins and Blog entries. For the price of an email address you can get access to over 25 free cover downloads at the artist's website.
The original songs comprise five solo EPs on the DIY Bull Lee Records label, distributed by CD Baby, iTunes and the other major online digital music retailers.
