A native of Amityville, New York, and a longtime resident of Greenwich Village, DeNicola began his musical career as a bass player with the band Flight, which recorded for Motown in 1980 and was later sampled by Erykah Badu on her hit song “Back in the Day.” He went on to perform with several other acts before transitioning into songwriting and producing.

Although his portfolio includes music written for and performed by a variety of artists, DeNicola is best known for his collaboration with Franke Previte and Donald Markowitz on the iconic, award-winning songs from Dirty Dancing.

In this interview, John shares how he developed his passion for music, how he got his start in the industry, and how he co-wrote two of the most beloved tracks from Dirty Dancing: “Hungry Eyes” and “(I've Had) The Time of My Life.”

Greg talks with Kristy and Axel about how he got started in the business and how he developed his love for audio. Greg also shares how he feels about young kids in the industry who haven't paid their dues starting a podcast and not taking the job seriously.

Kristy and Greg also talk about how being behind the mic can be very therapeutic in some ways, especially when you have dealt with depression or you have bottled up anger and emotions inside. 

To complete the episode Greg leaves his personal thoughts and message with the listeners about what he wants everyone to know about him and his show, and that is to be the best you that you can possibly be. Just stand out and do you, and be the best you can be at it.
