The Resume

(1968- )
Birth name is John Ondrasik
Recorded 'Bella's Birthday Cake,' 'Superman,' 'Jainy,' 'Love Song,' 'Easy Tonight' and 'The Last Great American'

Why he might be annoying:

'Easy Tonight' is that typical love song that is actually about a suicide.

Why he might not be annoying:

The name is derived from the ice hockey penalty of five minutes for fighting.
John chose the name because it is a metaphor for the little guy trying to get his songs heard while battling the giant music business.
He was formally trained in opera (as a tenor).
He said in an interview with NewBeats.com: 'At record companies it is very hard to break a new act. It's almost to the point the better songwriter you are, the harder it is to get a record deal. It seems that they're not signing bands with much depth because that won't affect their next quarterly sales.'
