John Elefante Biography

John Elefante is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on March 18, 1958 in Levittown, New York, United States. John Elefante (born March 18 1958) is an American musician, singer and record producer. He is famous for his time as the leader of the band Kansas as well as currently on tour with a variety of groups featuring members of classic rock bands.

It was 1985 when “Young and Innocent” was included on the soundtrack for St. Elmo’s Fire and was credit as “Elefante” – a collaborative effort of John and Dino Elefante.

Mastedon’s first release was titled It’s a Jungle Out There! (1989). A year later, the band released Lofcaudio. This album continued the guest performance theme, though Elefante sang more of the lead vocals. Unfortunately, John and Dino’s production schedule preempted any touring to commercially support the album (though the band did appear at least one Christian rock festival, Cornerstone, in 1991). Even so, the albums charted at No. 25 and No. 10, respectively. To this day, they are considered classics in the genre.

Throughout the latter half of the 1990s, Elefante continued his breakneck pace as producer, and now record label chief. He decided it was also time to begin a solo career. Elefante released two solo albums: Windows of Heaven (1995) and Corridors (1997).

In 1984, for the retrospective album The Best of Kansas, Elefante created the album’s sole brand new song, “Perfect Lover”. The very year, the singer also left Kansas together as Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope.

Elefante began focusing on heavier music in the early 1990s. Among many notable albums was the Guardian release, Fire and Love, which was played in regular rotation on MTV. Elefante also felt the songwriting muse, and formed a metal band with his brother, Mastedon. The band’s name was a pachyderm-inspired reference to the brothers’ last name. Although Elefante was an accomplished vocalist and performer, the Mastedon albums featured multiple lead singers and performances by other artists, creating an eclectic sound anchored by Elefante’s songwriting. His brother Dino played a prominent role, contributing songwriting and handling most of the guitar work.

The new year also saw Elefante’s schedule becoming too hectic, however. Success was taking away too much time from his family. In 2002, he left Pamplin after a string of successful albums, including the debut for Natalie Grant.
