Singer-songwriter, and Producer Jonny Diina Launches New Rock Band Some Spirit

LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – And, so it begins...Some Spirit, the hottest Los Angeles based, alternative-rock band catching fire will be releasing their debut EP titled “Begin” on All Saints Day, November 1st. Some Spirit’s haunting and glorious melodies with breath-taking hypnotic rock sounds are winning over fans. Definitely not bubblegum pop, “Begin” tackles all things related to love, death and the afterlife. Questioning the meaning of existence, facing personal and internal conflicts, and feeling ominous passion are all introduced in Some Spirit’s “Begin” EP.

 Jonny Diina, the former lead singer and co-founder of the now defunct band Indroves, formed Some Spirit after some seriously deep soul-searching. Having penned dozens of songs for Some Spirit, Diina is credited as producer and assembled a dynamic band of musicians including Roger Mercier on drums, and Paul ill (Linda Perry, Christina Aguilera) on bass, with Diina himself on vocals, piano, guitar, and keyboards. Diina’s musical vision led to Some Spirit creating an EP that is exceptionally intimate and profound from the very start. The record is executive produced by Jeff Parker.

The “Begin” EP was co-produced by famed Los Angeles punk rock producer Paul Roessler, mixed by Ryan Andersen and recorded at the famous Kitten Robot Studios and The Fields. Scott Feldman (CO Producer / Engineer) and Jeremy Hatcher (Guitarist) make special appearances on the fan favorite track “FEEL.”

“Transitioning from the classic band breakup, it was disappointing to say the least. I basically had to start all over again,” states Diina. “I began to write very personal and brooding songs, some of which had been kickin’ around for a long time. “Begin” is the first set of recordings that I wrote and produced myself, with some great musicians, now known as Some Spirit.”

About Some Spirit founder Jonny Diina

Jonny Diina is a consummate vocalist, prolific songwriter and gifted musician. He believes that everything in music should be dynamically rooted from the lyrics of a song. An old soul for these uncertain times, Jonny Diina is an antidote for the sugarcoated pabulum that seems to fill the airwaves. His music transcends, engages and delights.

Jonny’s influences are as vast as his rich musical background. They include greats like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, Chris Cornell, Andrea Bocelli, Radiohead and Jeff Buckley. A native of Buffalo, NY, there was never a time when music was not part of Jonny’s life. His mother is a classical pianist; his father a professional jazz musician; and his grandfather played bass in the U.S. Army Band with Sammy Davis Jr. Jonny began voice lessons at the age of 8. Soon after, he joined his father at local venues performing timeless jazz classics.

In 2003, with little more than a guitar and his ambition Jonny made his way to San Francisco where his distinct vocals quickly earned him recognition and regular acoustic performances. Jonny Diina will kick off 2008 with a new EP, Prelude, featuring the crowd favorite “Will I Fail You.” Reminiscent of Jonny’s live performance, Prelude captures his break loose vocals and bittersweet lyrics in songs that are drenched with raw emotion.
