Emerging from the Southern California alternative music scene in the late 1980's, John started out as a guitarist/bassist before unfulfilling band experiences (with London After Midnight, for instance) eventually prompted him to try and create music on his own. John's first solo project Sub Version was born. Taking on the tasks of songwriting, lyrics/vocals, instruments, programming, and production entirely on his own John successfully completed three releases: Metamorphosis (1992), Damaged Gods (1994), and The Winds of War (1997).
In the summer of 1996 John accompanied Faith and the Muse at the Zillo Festival as guitarist. Upon his return from Europe he rejoined the band for the U.S. "Apparition" tour.
After the Winds of War, John took a break in order to realize some new ideas that were emerging that seemed to be a departure from Sub Version. The Heaven EP in 2002 (as John Koviak) was the official beginning of this new chapter and the Imagination EP (as Koviak) followed soon after in 2003.
John has most recently been seen active as a live guitarist and violinist for Faith & the Muse. He accompanied them on their European 2003 “Burning Season” tour, performed with them at Mera Luna 2004, on the 2004 United States tour and lastly in Santiago, Chile.
