| So Johnny, the last time Freestylemania talked to you was on our last interview with you prior to the release of your album, Sounds of My Heart, in early 2002. Tell us what you have been doing?Well at this very moment my career is making people rethink their opinions about me! In Europe they have embraced me with open arms, the shock of seeing my performance and charisma that I project, has captivated their hearts. Back home in America my main purpose is to break the shackles off my feet, and to reveal to my homeland I am more than what meets the eye? And with this album I am achieving that goal. I have and will continue to promote “The Sounds of My Heart,” my latest new album as my master piece, musical art. You recently finished up a performance at Parti
it was incredible it reminded me of the glory days of Freestyle,Gras in Exit NYC. How was the experience for you? With the success of that concert, do you feel freestyle still burns in the hearts of many? to see all those screaming fans and knowing that they consist of all ages is a realty that I am so appreciative of. The night it self was a dream, the energy, excitement, support, fans, friends and performers it was fabulous. Louie, that night opened my eyes to the possibility that it is going to all start all over again, but this time it going to be very different. I’m going to do it right! |
| Its my understanding that you have been touring in Germany at various venues……how has that been and what do the Europeans think of your new music?There is a total acceptance and an enthusiastic atmosphere about my return and future. To my understanding I am looking forward to an exciting and adventurous career in Europe. They know and love my music very well. And so far the reports regarding the reviews about my new album have been awesome! So it’s going to take time but I am confident about the future, you must understand that it is easier to present new material out in Europe because they are very open and supportive with regards to my musical career because they haven’t experience my presentation and performance. The new song “Take Me through
the Night” is being released now in the US. Tell us what we can expect from this new single? A lot of noise, positive reviews, huge support, surprising |
| Now in our last interview, you stated that you would be doing tours promoting your Sounds of My Heart LP and that you would be doing European and US tours. Since you are now back from your recent European Tour will you be now concentrating on doing a US national tour promoting the new single and album?Presently I am touring and promoting in Germany, Canada and America my latest single “Take Me through the Night,” found in his latest album “The Sounds of My Heart.” This new single is making people sit up and listen; the future looks bright for my career. The album is promoting its self in the respect that; the more fans get to hear the material found on the album they are spreading the word out to other fans and industry leaders! Of course there is a huge campaign for my latest album, but the word out on the street is “Look out for this album it looks like a platinum winner.” Now Johnny, I know that your single, “So
in Love,” which I have to say is a very awesome song was produced by Tanassi Koulids. Is he behind “Take Me Through the Night?” Or do you have a different production team? Who is behind this single (writers, producers, engineers, etc)? Tanassi did have the opportunity to create a great Freestyle |
