BIlly Sheehan

We are proud to announce Billy Sheehanwill be joining the growing list of artists on John's debut CD – Is this thing on?

Billy Sheehan has changed the way bass guitar is played. Rising to cult status in the 80's with his Buffalo, NY based band Talas, Billy was recruited by David Lee Roth when Roth left Van Halen in '85. He recorded two platinum selling albums with the former Van Halen front man before setting out on his own. Forming Mr. Big in 1989, the band achieved a Billboard #1 single in the US and 14 other countries with "To Be With You" from their 2nd Atlantic Records album release "Lean Into It". While developing his trademark style of playing he has performed over 4000 live gigs on every continent except Africa and Antarctica.

Ivan Michaljevic

My name is Ivan Mihaljevic and I am a guitarist/singer/songwriter. I was born on 16th August 1986 in Zagreb.

When I was 14 years old I started taking guitar lessons in Rock Academy. During the next few years I played in a few bands until I formed the band named Forsaken. I played a lot of live shows with Forsaken in Croatia and recorded 2 demo albums. When I finished Rock Academy I continued to take guitar lessons (as well as theory, singing and piano lessons) in music highschool for jazz and popular music.

In the summer of 2005 I performed at the biggest European metal festival Wacken Open Air in Germany with a famous Croatian hard rock band Hard Time and got excellent reviews. During the next year and a half I played in a few bands, but nothing worked out, and I was playing gigs every now and then with Hard Time filling in for their guitarist whenever he couldn't play a gig.

In November 2006 I became a full time member of Hard Time, played a lot of gigs with the band (including a concert being recorded for a live DVD, a concert with one of my biggest guitar heroes Paul Gilbert and a festival with rock legends The Cult and Scorpions) and recorded 2 music videos (for the songs "Deja Vu" and "Zombie")! In November 2007 I went on my first European tour with Hard Time and in 2008 I also toured England with Hard Time. In August 2008 I released my first solo album "Sandcastle".

We're planning a whole bunch of live shows with Hard Time and I'm planning some solo shows soon too and I hope to see you out there!!!
