Born and bred in Brooklyn (and proud of that fact), Johnny D got his first break in the music industry working for Vince Pellegrino’s S.I.N., before moving on to work for Atlantic Records, with whom he was associated for
many years.

Among the many projects he’s been involved with there (and there
really are too many to mention) were the Bucketheads, with his longtime friend
and associate Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez, the remix for Tori Amos’ ‘Professional
Widow’ which wound up at number one in the UK pop charts, and the remix and
campaign for Everything But The Girl’s ‘Missing’, which he took from indie nohopers to the upper echelons of the Billboard Hot 100.

He first launched Henry Street in 1993, followed a few years later by Muggsy. 

The Muggsy Story is a document of a special time in New York history, before the
gentrification of New York made party-throwing a guerilla activity, rather than
the core of its musical soul. Muggsy, we salute you.
