While packing venues like Webster Hall and Knitting Factory, Jonny's commanding stage presence and unique musical style is attracting a solid fan base and earning the respect and attention of New York City's concert goers and finest studio and live performance musicians.

After six months of competition, Jonny and his band advanced to the United States Finals of the 2006 Worldwide Emergenza Festival, placing in the Top 5 bands out of thousands across the country. In August of 2006, Jonny's saxophone composition and performance was featured on multi-platinum recording artist and Grammy Award winner DMX's album: YEAR OF THE DOG…'AGAIN'.
