Bio (auto)
John Dervishian grew up in Cambridge, MA graduating from Cambridge Rindge & Latin that are now well knowns in the entertainment industry and he is not. He now lives west of Cambridge because he cannot afford to live in the city any longer. He has done many open mic readings, been invited into high schools to share his poetry and has been part of poetry youth work shops. He has self published two books as a solo writer and collaborated with Adam Schirling of Drunken absurdity because nobody liked his stuff well enough to publish under their label. He really doesn’t care so much anymore but still likes to write.
