This totally original New Zealand music reflects the sounds of the South Pacific & Johnny Dylan's Spanish Latin roots to provide a near hour of easy listening of "Latin Pacifica rock."

A Brief History of Johnny Dylan:

JD is a professional singer, songwriter & guitarist who has been playing professionally since the age of 15. With his classical operatic vibrato style of rock singing he has entertained audiences all over New Zealand.

He has just finished a full-length CD called Momentos, comprising of 13 totally original songs co-written with Doug Thomas. He is presently negotiating with a major record company through the management of Wellington business entrepreneur Rob Acton.

JD is currently based in Taranaki where he & Doug Thomas are working on compositions for his second full length CD, which is almost ready to take to the studios in Auckland for backing & instrumental tracks. Like Momentos it has a strong Latin feel, which is the direction & genre that JD excels at. His great grand father was a full-blooded Spaniard & captain in the Royal Spanish Navy, which gives his songs an authentic Spanish/Latin feel & flavour.

JD works live with his band JD & The Notorious Hobo Gang doing standard R&B covers as well as his solo "JD Acoustic Revue" live act which takes him nation-wide, performing classic folk songs. This versatile singer covers Latin, R&B & folk songs as well as rock styles.

Coming from a strong musical background of Opera singers - his Father, David Alexander Maconaghie, a silver tenor, had leading rolls in Gilbert & Sullivan operas In Auckland & uncle Ronald Maconaghie, a professional barotone singer, based in Europe with a famous Opera company, performed world-wide in operas & did an album with Kiri Te kanawa as well as albums with other notable singers of the day. He currently teaches opera singing in Adelaide & was Head of the Melbourne & Adelaide Music Universities.
