John Neudorf has been very active in the music industry for the past 20 years studying jazz at Mohawk College as a drummer. Later under the instruction of Rosemary Burns, John transitioned from Instrumentalist to Vocalist, performing and touring with the band “Kidney Stew”.
As John’s blues career unfolded, he fronted bands with classic blues players such as Mel Brown and special guest appearances with Matt “Guitar” Murphy. Simultaneously, John began learning the jazz song book and performing with local players throughout the Niagara Region. Building confidence and technique at a consistent pace led him to study with “Down Beat” jazz vocalist of the year Mark Murphy. John later performed at many prestigious jazz clubs in Toronto including, “The Top of the Senator” with the Mark Eisenman Trio and “The Montreal Bistro”.
Some of John’s musical credits include national radio commercials such as the “Breakfast for Dinner” egg campaign and the “First Choice” hair according to you jingle. He also released an Indie album entitled “I Remember”.
