Johnny Punish

I am a writer, musician, performer & music producer. I love to create stuff that inspires me, moves me and makes me want to scream and shout. I love living the inspired life. I hope it comes through in my music.

BACKGROUNDI saw Elvis play live in Las Vegas when I was a kid. That got me going! I played the Nursing Home Circuit at 9. I toured with my turntable, stage mother mom, and lip-synced for the geriatric fans; a super great way to start my live performance career.

Oh, I was also in an underground punk rock band (Twisted Nixon 1996-2002) and owned a record label producing 3rd Wave SKA band The Skeletones. Now I push artistic boundaries into the 21st century creating diverse music with meaning. Born in New York City to Italian American father and Palestinian mother from Haifa, I am now a global justice warrior for good. I engage around the world in just causes. I have over 500 articles published around the world on matters of politics, foreign policy and human rights. I have been involved in numerous protest movements, have appeared on television including news shows in the USA and Iran discussing Middle East Policies. In short, my music is just an extension of my passion for life and good.

As of 2021, I have over 120 songs written and produced. My music is available on all digital platforms. Visit my website for tons of unique interesting intellectually challenging content anytime at JohnnyPunish.com. Glad to have you aboard. Enjoy the Music!
