Keep up with his website for details. www.JohnWylde.com "A true artist is one who will not, indeed cannot, lead his life through any form but his art. While some may create art as a means to escape reality, the true artist creates art as a means to understand reality. His art is not a reflection upon anything, but merely a reason to live, a life jacket in a sea of obscurity, a single irreplaceable form of survival. He is not to be neither criticized nor praised for his work, as he has no choice but to create it, just as he has no choice but to breath" -John Wylde The 23 year old John Wylde, after being released from the army, came to New York to seek a life as a musician. When asked about his genre he said, "I guess it's a combination of folk, country and jazz -I'm not sure what it's called, I've never heard it before" John writes tunes based on observations, current events and personal experiences - "I write five pages a day and keep whatever seems real". Accompanying his unique voice and beautiful harmonica melodies is his pleasing guitar folk playing, "Once a song is finished, you have to accept it for what it is. Sometimes I write a song not right for me, and I just have to let it go. You can't force a song to fit you... But when a song does fit, it really fits" John Wylde is mutli instrumentalist, song writer and touring musician.
