The new album, Stronghold, is the third full length release from DeGrazio. Recorded at Watersound in NJ, It features 13 new songs written and produced by John and showcases several fantastic musicians including Dave Eggar (who is a true musical genious). An accomplished pianist, John DeGrazio began studying music at the age of seven. It quickly became a creative outlet as he began writing melodies and songs within a year of starting to play. Early training was primarily classical, but expanded to other genres including pop\u002Frock later in his teen years. By the age of 15, he already had a solid grasp not only on the piano, but also guitar and other string instruments. It was then when he turned his attention to building a recording studio. By 1999, Watersound was complete with state-of-the-art design and equipment and has been modified and updated ever since.
