Bio.
John Distefano Studied music production at Tony music school of Wroclaw under the guidance of electronic music producer Mislaw and multi-instrumentalist director Łukasz Ciesiołkiewicz.

Founder of the post-rock band Good Morning Finch, where he served as the bassist for over a decade, playing around Italy and Poland, alongside with "giants" as Diaframma and many Italian Indie acts (Waines, Oratio,
Luminal, Iotatola). The band's atmospheric sound, driven by Distefano's deep, melodic
bass lines, gained them recognition and a devoted group of supporters. He plays synthesizers in the
ambient duo tour d'hiver, crafting soundscapes that evoke a meditative and cinematic
quality. Under the moniker Warm Knives, he also releases IDM music, blending glitchy
beats and complex electronic arrangements. His first EP as Warm knives was pubblished in the USA by Webelotrax label in November 2024. John Distefano's diverse artistic pursuits—
ranging from post-rock and ambient music to electronic music—illustrate his commitment
to exploring new creative universes and pushing the boundaries of traditional genres.

I have asked John to work together on the production and mixing of some of my songs (I'm collaboratining with different producers from all around the world). The songs sound fresh and original, he has very nice taste in music, I am incredibly satisfied!
by gianluca p.
thank you for the smooth collaboration with mixing the song for my animated video, also to nail it with the drum machine. This detail litterally gave a new life to my project.

Hope to see you soon!
