Johnny Dynamite is the solo alias of synth-centric singer/songwriter and producer John Morisi, though at times Dynamite is joined by his band “The Bloodsuckers”. Inspired by the illustrative work of his grandfather, acclaimed comic book artist and Brooklyn native Pete Morisi, Dynamite took on the name of one of his most iconic characters, an anti hero detective from the underworld; "Johnny Dynamite". Emerging in the mid-2010s as a staple of the Greater New York DIY basement scene, Dynamite eventually settled in Brooklyn himself.
