John Kelly, founding member/songwriter of Plunk Fusion, is steadfast
with his drive and dedication to making his mark with music. For
seven years, the name Plunk Fusion has been synonymous with only one
person, John Kelly. Now, Plastic Movie Heroes will mark a
new beginning for John as well as new drummer, Don Johnston who will be collaborating with
him on this journey.
From the moment I met
John, I knew he meant business. And by business, I mean his ability to
play from within instead of on the surface. As I meet more individuals
throughout the musical community, I have learned a few things. Mainly,
there is nothing more important than playing from within, from your heart and
from your soul. If you have not achieved this, then you are merely a
reflection of whatever music you are trying to play.
I personally strive to create music that inspires emotion within
my listeners. This is one aspect of songwriting John and I
have in common. Equally as important as achieving an
emotional response from listeners is taking a
"less-is-more" approach to songwriting. John has
certainly mastered this one!
Even though we are not working together, I know that John has the
ambition and desire to go forward with his musical endeavors. Best
of luck!
