Basic Biography
Boston native John Fields fell in love with music at an early age and taught himself to play guitar, bass, piano and drums. While playing in several local bands, he became fascinated with the art of recording and set his sights on becoming a record producer.

John moved to Minneapolis in his early 20's and established October Records and Funkytown Studios with his uncle, Steven Greenberg (who wrote the disco smash, "Funkytown"). John discovered, signed and produced numerous artists for October Records, including The Honeydogs, who later released albums on Mercury and Palm.

During this time, John continued working as a musician, co-founding Greazy Meal, a rock/funk band that became very popular in the region. This experience helped to further strengthen John's skills as a producer, and his reputation spread among artists in the Midwest.

John moved to Los Angeles in 2002, and began producing a string of successful records for a broad range of artists including Switchfoot, Mandy Moore, Backstreet Boys, Delta Goodrem, Rooney, and the breakthrough album for the Jonas Brothers.

In 2008, Fields began concentrating on songwriting in addition to producing and mixing. He co-wrote with writers such as Kara DioGuardi, Dan Wilson and "Bleu" McAuley, as well as artists he was producing. This lead to songs which were cut by the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Clique Girlz, Jon McLaughlin and Ballas Hough Band.
