John Alvarado is the son of two musical parents. His sound is drawn from many influences: his background as a musician in his parents’ church; his training as a classical pianist in college; his love of diverse music genres. His broad range of musical experiences has grown him into a writer with an almost-scientific appreciation for music of all sorts. As a singer, songwriter, & multi-instrumentalist, his pen creates music that creates language for & enhances experiences with others, the Divine, & ourselves. Alvarado composed the songs of his debut EP, Pilgrim in Reverse (2021), in the small moments of his day-to-day life. Each song was tracked and produced in the attic of his parents’ home. He played every instrument. His follow-up to Pilgrim in Reverse was a compilation of three singles, Ventilator. / Corduroy & Crushed Leaves. (2023). These songs bring a new sound to Alvarado’s catalog, expanding the image of the man he introduced in his debut. Ventilator. / Corduroy & Crushed Leaves. can be thought of as a foreword to a highly-anticipated autobiography. Alvarado’s latest project, Felix (2023), was preceded by two singles: Karaoke (2023) & Let Go (2023). Felix brings together more tightly his influences & heroes in his musical upbringing.
