A true fan of real rock music, Johnny J began recording songs
off the radio at a young age. Since the purchase of his first
cassette, Billy Joel's "Glass Houses", he has collected
thousands of records, cassettes, CD's & mp3's over the years.
Johnny has rocked the airwaves on WFSN & WWUC. He can
be heard voicing both regional and national commercials. He
has also donated production services with local businesses
and church organizations.
Born, raised and lives in Erie, Pennsylvania. Johnny is
married, has three grown kids and several grandkids. A huge
hockey and baseball fan. If he’s not bothering his family &
neighbors with his guitar, you will probably find him fishing or
just relaxing on his boat!

The Big Rock Radio show has become a big part of our weekend sound. We air the 4 hours twice on Saturdays, another airing on Sundays, and then rotate the shows throughout the week after 6 pm. Johnny does a fantastic job with his great hosting, and the songs are right up our alley. We are fortunate to have The Big Rock on Phantom FM 103.3. As the Executive director and Programming, I always enjoy listening to the new shows weekly. Keep Rockin' Johhny, thank you from everyone in Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada"
