Biography of Johnny Monsoon
John Reinys was born on September 21st, 1978 in Seattle Washington. It was 18 years later that Johnny Monsoon was created. While working for a construction company each summer, John befriended 2 co-workers, Nathan Gray and Jim Way who were two local DJ’s. They would go on and on about underground parties in ware-houses that would go until the early morning. They spoke of the energy that the music would release into the crowd and that the only way to understand it was to experience it.
Witnessing the power that trance music conveyed, he was inspired to showcase his talents as a DJ and began playing at clubs like Watertown, Deep Down Lounge, Noiselab, Mantra and Contour to name a few. Night after night he would seamlessly blend the tracks together and send his listeners on a journey through sound. Each time he played he was given compliment after compliment by club goers who were blown away by his unique sound of trance. He was then offered to play at the annual 'Summer Celebration Concert' for XiL records which featured 15 bands and 5 DJ’s. He closed the show down in front of a packed amphitheatre and literally brought the venue to its knees. 'Johnny is going to go very far in the music scene, after seeing his set at the Summer Celebration Concert, I knew that trance had found a new phenomenon. Nothing can stop him!' (Susan Dahlen, XiL Records).
He then started playing for Electra-Fi Entertainment, one of the premier club promoters on the West Coast. As bookings increased, so did the distance traveled. John was asked to play on 'Select', a show on MTV up in Canada that aired to over 2,000,000 households. The producer was so impressed he asked John to come back and play several times. He has played up and down the West Coast at various clubs, parties, concerts and radio stations. He is currently working in the studio with several other artists and will be releasing a remix in the fall of 2005.
And this leaves us where we are today: The journey has just begun...
