Born and raised in Los Angeles, Johnny Stachela’s passion for the guitar ignited early in his life. At age 5, Johnny says, “I would learn Black Sabbath riffs on a one-string toy guitar.” A virtuoso guitarist, vocalist, producer and songwriter, he has an emotionally charged style that has caught the ears of many who admire his artistry. Johnny has recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin), and has jammed with heavyweight musicians like Melissa Etheridge and Billy Preston, among others. Johnny likes to collect and refurbish vintage Fender tube amps and play rare vintage guitars. Johnny currently lives a few blocks from the beach and likes to catch a wave or 2 (or more) when he can.
