“JP” “Terrific Teen, Victorious Voice, Jersey Joy!”

Jp (John Geraghty) who is now 15, still enjoys an unbroken voice and is in the final stages of releasing to the public his first original single entitled “Only Girl”.

JP

Today I’m introducing for the very first time here on the blog a long time YouTube friend of mine.

I first met JP soon after he posted his interpretation of Billy Gilman’s song “Hero” on his first YouTube site!  Immediately I knew that this young man, who had just turned 14, had a voice that was unquestionably pure, clean, in perfect pitch, and had a an outstanding listening quality.

Jp (John Geraghty) who is now 15, still enjoys an unbroken voice and is in the final stages of releasing to the public his first original single entitled “Only Girl”. I am very happy and honored to not only help him promote his new song, but have been sharing his sample version on the blog for over a week now!  I listen to many songs from youngsters from all over the world but “JP is one of those who stands head and shoulders above the majority who are in the process of developing a career in music.”

♫  ♫♫♫ “Only Girl” ♫  ♫♫♫

His greatest musical influences include: Michael Jackson, Bob Hope, John Lennon, Billy Gilman, James Taylor, Taylor Swift, The Beatles, Rascal Flatts, Justin Bieber, Boys Like Girls, David Archuleta, Carrie Underwood, Charice, among others.  In fact he told me that he enjoys many different genres and performers too many to name.

Recently, JP was awarded the title of 2009 National High School Teen Idol, which has gained much media attention.  He appeared on Artists First where he gave a very impressive radio interview .

JP also has an article written exclusively for him on the National High School Teen Idol site where they do more than boast his new song but exclaim just how talented JP really is!  (I agree!)  While his song is embedded in their website, it is not the finished version, which is currently still being mastered and will be ready very soon!

JP has had the privilege to perform at the esteemed Carnegie Hall in New York City singing “Danny Boy” & “Ave Maria”. He was chosen from a host of auditioning youth, and now studies with the Artistic Director of the event who also introduced him to some of the top professionals from Julliard!

JP sports a list of stage theater performances including Oliver!, Secret Garden, & The New Voices Concert at “The Papermill Playhouse” (one of nation’s most esteemed regional theater’s) as the finale soloist for “A Bell is No Bell” & “Climb Every Mountain”.  He was also featured in “Pandemonium” from 25th Spelling Bee.

“It was an amazing experience both years- being able to make friends that I still have, learning all about the business and having the opportunity to perform for many top talent agencies.”

In addition to his recent interview on Artist First Radio, JP is also looking forward to getting on Tween Pop Radio’s Top 40 – and being interviewed on YouTube awards channel “Teen Pop Generation” as well!

JP is currently auditioning for many professional theater productions, including Broadway as well as Film and Television. He is recording and co-writing some of his upcoming debut EP album.

JP exclaimed;

“I am working with some of the nation’s top producers/writers and it’s so exciting!
I dream of sharing my music with the world- influencing kids all around to sing no matter what they sound like. I’d like to one day perform in Africa, and become an ambassador for UNICEF, my favorite charity.”

In my personal opinion JP is going to be a fast rising young star that will take the internet by storm. He has a very good sense of who he is and what his goals are, which for a young man still in his teens is really an accomplishment in itself.

When “Only Girl’s” final cut has been release you can be sure you will hear about it here!

Better get ready, because this is one talent that will not be satisfied with just being High School Teen Idol but will find himself someday soon on Americas Largest Stage singing to millions of fans.  I will then have the happy privilege to be able to say I knew him when!

  6. JP is even more amazing on this song that some of his previous songs. There has been so much growth in just a year I can't imagine where he will be in another year! I am going to predict that this first record will launch him into a whole new world of flurry and excitement in this industry! Nothing will surprise me that could develop from this one single hit! I just hope I'm there when it all happens because I was honored to be one of the very first to notice this young mans talent and I'm so happy that he not only believed me, but believed in himself enough to propel himself to where he is today! Look out world JP is coming!

  7. Wow JP really has an amazing voice. He sings soulfully and I guess that makes the difference. And he said he is really into rock which is wicked. Rock seems to be my favorite genre as well. And its amazing that he has a theater stage experience – it only confirms my theory of how such experience influence really contributes to the music development of the singers. The interview was amazing – I wish I was able to do such an interesting interviews , but I have a lot to learn. Thank for for sharing another great article Rod – it was a pleasure for me leaning about JP and his music.

  8. There is no doubt that JP will be serving up some of the best music we have ever heard in the near future. I'm very anxious to hear his final cut of this song and the many that are to follow! I've been a fan of JP for over a year even before he won the much deserved title of National High School Teen Idol! JP is a winner in many ways!

  9. JP is one of the best young singers I've heard. I can't wait to get his debut album and to see what else he does in the future.
