"I have been on a journey of self discovery and learning ever since I was diagnosed at age 16," says McGuigan. "I am constantly trying to find new ways of, not only helping myself to heal each day, but trying to see if I can help someone else, as well. Music plays a big part in doing both, I believe.  I hope you find my music to be insightful and emotionally striking."

He attended Newman University and renowned recording school, Full Sail University.  Songwriting has now become JJ's main focus and passion, with an emphasis on lyrical creation.  After a brief stint in Austin, Texas, he has returned to his hometown of Wichita.
