Koonsidi’o a.k.a. Johann Kuntz was born and raised in Buckley Washington USA. As a child Johann’s mother would play her old nylon string acoustic guitar and sing to his three other siblings. This was the beginning of his love for acoustic music.
It is interesting to note that Johann never played an instrument as a child and that he did not sing much either. It wasn’t until halfway through his freshman year of high school that his older brother Chris talked him into dropping the Horticulture class they were starting and joining the White River High School choir instead. Johann immediately took a liking to it. It was in that class that he began to get his first instruction in music theory and singing techniques.
Johann continued in choir through his senior year of high school when he then began taking piano lessons from a friend of the family. However, after only a few months of piano lessons, Johann decided to join the Air Force and so he stopped. Then in a strange twist of luck Johann fell and broke his arm while snowboarding on the Swiss Alps just two weeks before he was to attend basic training. This delayed his entry into the military by half a year. There was Johann, sitting around his parents house with no job as he had expected to be leaving soon. He had nothing demanding his time of him, so as soon as the cast came off his arm he began to learn the guitar. He would spend hours a day just practicing, trying to get good.
Those six months before military basic training set him on track to get more involved with music then he had ever imagined. |
