John Montoya

John Montoya is a musician, producer and a writer who grew up in the LA DIY punk scene. Since the early 2000s, he has been playing in several bands to engineering bands around town. His reverence for the hard work of being a musician and DIY ethos led to his co-founding of Bridgetown DIY, a collective that has been running since 2013 - one of the longest running DIY spaces in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV); located in his hometown of La Puente. He lives by his belief that supporting your local music scene is not always easy, but whatever one can do is better than nothing.
