"Pain is the first ten rungs on the ladder of success". From Brooklyn to Staten Island, John is 100% Sicilian and had the classic Italian upbringing. While we were eating PB&J sandwiches, he was throwing down chicken cutlet heroes (Shot out to Linizio). Being the only kid in a house full of parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, there was always a little bit of chaos, and a lot of love. Causing ruckus throughout his youth, John was the class-clown, and expert prankster. From getting kicked out of high school, and almost failing out of college, John struggled with finding his direction in life - until he realized the one thing that remained consistent; his camera. John was always shooting, collecting footage, and editing videos. Suddenly, a small dream began to manifest, and his journey began. He quickly fell deeply in love with the music industry, and brought his video skills to the table. Soon, he'd find himself leaving a life of laying wood floors in Arizona, to creating hip-hop videos in LA. But, this industry is ruthless, and the journey is even more brutal. John battled with rejection, losing money, and screaming success while failure echoed back. But for John, success is a mountain of failures put together. He continued to master his craft, challenging himself everyday, in an industry where there's no faking it to make it. You either deliver or you don't. To become one of the most sought out and influential music video directors in the world, you better have more than the gift of gab and camera. No doubt, John delivers - but that's because he lives his life asking himself one question everyday: "Are you the absolute best you can be?" If the answer is yes, you're lying. Ladies and Gents, this is John Colombo. #MamaWeMadeIt
