John Pape Jr multi talented musician, author, web designer, songwriterWHO IS JOHN

John Pape Jr is a musician, composer and songwriter web designer and multimedia specialist. He lives with his wife Nancy,  and son Gavin in El Cajon California.

John has loved music all his life. His first musical experience was playing the violin at the Bostonia Elementary School Orchestra and singing in the Glee Club.

During high school John got a guitar. This began a new venture that has continued to this day. Learning all he could about the guitar and music John became a very competent musician. The enthusiasm for this instrument led him to become involved with various rock bands. At first these groups played popular cover tunes. Eventually, John’s desire to express more artistic creativity led him to collaborate with others to write original music.

Love of Music

Out of this a home recording studio was created and at the same time the songs were being performed with a music group. Most of the venues were at local San Diego establishments.

“Music is a wonderful thing.” says John, “It has the unique ability to invoke emotions without any words. Add Lyrics and the words meanings are enhanced tenfold.” John continued to say, “Music is such an integral part of life. I love the creation of a new song.”

Computer Knowledge Meets Music

Currently John has integrated his love for music with many years of computer knowledge. He was able to install a sound board and some notation software and started to compose. “The computer is a wonderful tool. It allows a person to multiply their talent mostly through time saving.” Said John. Using the computer John is able to compose, arrange, and orchestrate an entire song. This technology had given him an expanded appreciation of his creative talents.

Using MIDI technology offers the advantage of portability. An entire “Musical Group” can be transported on a disk or even through the Internet. Samples of Mr. Pape’s compositions can be found here

John Pape Jr desires to share his love of music with others. His vision revolves around the opportunity to share his God given talent and abilities to enrich, edify, encourage others. Listening to John Pape’s Music can do that. It has also led him to author the book Building a House of Worship

Looking to the future there are many avenues in which his musical creations can be used. “I would like to see the music used in several applications like

  • Jingles,
  • Computer Games,
  • Multimedia,
  • Film,
  • Dance
