Keith St John is an American rock singer, songwriter, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, best known for his work as the frontman for hard rock bands Montrose and Burning Rain. Throughout his career, St. John has also been the frontman and lead vocalist for notable national hard rock acts such as Lynch Mob, The Neal Schon Band, Tracii Guns’ L.A. Guns, Quiet Riot, Manny Charleton's Nazareth, and Sweet. He is also credited with many musical contributions to several television series and films. His song, “Sweet Dreams” that he wrote, performed, and self-produced was featured in the Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale (2010) film, “The Fighter”.
Early Years
In 1989, St John signed with Atlantic Records based on his very first demo tape. Atlantic's new found band, Big Trouble, featured Keith St John as lead vocalist, drummer Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow, Black Sabbath), guitarist Jon Levin (Dokken), and bassist Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper). Atlantic Records Head of A&R Jason Flom hand picked all four band members including his newly discovered singer, Keith St John.
Following Big Trouble, St John was approached by an independent management company that wanted to build a new 'supergroup' in Los Angeles based on St John's own music and creative vision. After emerging on the Hollywood Rock scene with his band St John, Keith was soon approached by many of L.A.'s established rock artists to sing and collaborate on new projects.
While still tweeking the St John sound and vision, Keith got an offer from legendary rock bassist Rudy Sarzo to join his band newly signed to Giant Records by label boss Irving Azoff,. The band “Sun King” featured Sarzo on bass (Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Quiet Riot) and John 5 on guitar (Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie). During that same year (1993) St. John also recorded an album with the band Medicine Wheel. Label? The band featured guitarist, Marc Ferrari (Keel) and Ray Luzier on drums (Korn).
Over the next several years, St John got calls to write songs and sing with many L.A. borne rock projects featuring marquis members of former heavyweight bands including CC D’Ville (Poison), James Kotak (Kingdom Come), Jeff Young (Megadeth), Chuck Wright (Quiet Riot/House of Lords), Gregg D’Angelo (White Lion), while working on his own musical projects that satisfied his own creative visions.
In 1998, Keith met up with guitarist Doug Aldrich and demo'd their first few songs for the Japan based record label, Pony Canyon for what was to evolve into the band Burning Rain. St John and Aldrich were introduced by bassist Ian Mayo who was a member of St John's Hollywood based band, Crushed Flowers, and was also a member of Aldrich's band Bad Moon Rising. Ian Mayo subsequently became the bassist for the band Burning Rain, whos lineup was rounded out and completed by L.A. based session drummer Alexx McArovich.
