Chicago-born Juan Lopez aka Johnny Fiasco grew up in the predominately Hispanic Pilsen neighborhood where he was influenced by music at an early age. Soon after his high school years, he traded playing guitar in rock and funk bands for home studio technology that allowed him the freedom to produce his own music without the confines and frustrations that playing in a band presented. Around this time Johnny began his career as a DJ at some of the first underground “house” parties in Chicago, and in ‘88 he landed a residency at Smart Bar with Mark Farina.
