A Seaford native, Geri DeJohn started singing in her early teens and started performing with bands by the age of 16. Although she was heavily influenced
by Janis Joplin, she was also influenced by old time jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald. Now as current performer with the Long Island Cabaret Theatre for more than a decade, DeJohn, has developed her art of singing into a bluesy, soulful, emotional and powerhouse style with an authentic tone.
She started collaborating with Alex Calvo, a musician/producer from Lynbrook. Calvo has managed his own band for more than 10 years prior to managing/representing DeJohn. Together, they recorded many original songs, which were then posted on YouTube. The first of the three songs, “When You Walked Out Of My Life,” showed DeJohn’s emotional, strong vocal style. This song became a YouTube hit that was viewed more than 25,000 times and generated press for her. DeJohn’s second song, “In The Night,” was even more received on YouTube and was viewed approximately 80,000 times. Her third song, “It’s So Hard To Face,” was also viewed more than 25,000 times.
Together, DeJohn and Calvo have formed FLYBOY in which they are currently performing the Long Island and New York City music scene.
