An eclectic mix of flamboyant pop with heavily filtered acoustic beats and endless dreamy guitars.
John produces in a style that is all his own, an eclectic mix of flamboyant pop with heavily filtered acoustic beats and endless dreamy guitars. A unique fusion of sound that has proven instrumental in reaching global audiences. With over two decades of experience, John has worked with leading music industry professionals and has landed countless sync placements worldwide, working together with Extreme Music, MTV, Sony Music and Hype Music as an independent Music Composer.
John has been creating his sonic world since the late ‘80s, starting out on the guitar from the age of 7.
Soon after he started writing songs for his funk and alternative bands, playing multiple instruments including guitar, bass, drums and vocals.
His recording career didn’t begin in earnest until 2003. He has always preferred making his own songs over covering songs.
In 2006 John accomplished a degree in Audio Engineering from SAE Amsterdam, helping him to materialize his ideas and achieve his own sound.
John is most intrigued by the more ‘deep’ and meaningful tracks, preferring a short heartfelt moment over endless melancholy. His acoustic songs are timeless - you feel like they’ve always been around - yet there’s freshness to John’s music that makes repeated listening an endlessly inspiring experience.
John also works with his younger sister, vocalist Gia Mellish. John and Gia were born in The Hague, The Netherlands. While they were growing up the kitchen was their home studio, and was well equipped with drums, a piano and a guitar. There was always music in the house. After High School they both knew they had to make music a career choice, though eventually they chose different music schools, Gia went to the Rock Academy and John to the SAE.
Gia took the artist name ‘Gia Mellish’ and as an singer/songwriter has released many house records on labels such as Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, and with many producers including Sébastien Léger and Alan Braxe. She has performed in clubs all over the world.
John started producing pop tracks and always kept his guitar as the main element in his music.
John Winckel composed and produced production music for the Extreme Music library. John received a professional brief and was selected as the winning composer and his song was used for synchronisation purposes globally. His work is online on the Extreme Music website:
