Early Years
John Molo was born in Bethesda, Maryland of mostly Irish descent. Three of his grandparents were from Ireland and one hailed from the border of Switzerland and Austria. His oceanographer father became increasingly concerned about the safety of the inner city and moved the family to the suburbs of Langley, Virginia where he went to high school at Langley High School in nearby McLean, Virginia.[1]
Later career
Molo was a member of Bruce Hornsby and the Range when the band won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of 1986. After the Range disbanded in 1990, Molo continued to collaborate and tour with Hornsby until 2000.[citation needed]
In May 2009, Molo joined the band Moonalice.[2]
