Renaissance Man John “SohoJohnny” Pasquale President and Owner of Tribeca Records Prepares for Josie Music Awards in Nashville

As one of the nominees for the prestigious Josie Music Awards “Best Record Label” category, John Pasquale diligently prepares for his trip to Nashville this October. The JMA will be celebrating their 10th annual anniversary on Saturday October 26, 2024 at the CMA Theater inside the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum. This will be followed on Sunday October 27, 2024 by the Awards which will take place in The Grand Ole Opry House, both in Nashville TN.

John Pasquale, known lovingly as SohoJohnny, is excited to be nominated by the most prestigious, respected, revered and influential event in the Indie Music Industry. The Josie Music Awards created and led by TinaMarie Passantino and daughter Josie Passantino-Boone allows artists to realize their dreams in a big way.

Along with the Tribeca Records nomination, many of the signed label’s artists have also been nominated (some in multiple categories) including THE AMERICAN RELICS, Jenny Grace, Randy Edelman, Irene Michaels and more. Composer Randy Edelman who is set release brand new music shortly will be receiving a special award as well as Legendary Artist.

SohoJohnny not only owns one of New York’s most accomplished records labels but also excels as a Real Estate entrepreneur owning Pep Real Estate, the go-to for Pop-Up stores in the Manhattan Soho area, as an actor, an executive film producer, a TV show host for his Soho At Night (a late night interview/entertainment show), and as the creator of the Let Me Help, Inc foundation putting on celebrity events to benefit various causes. He is also a family man, a performer, the executive producer of “Profiles with Mickey Burns” (a 21 year old celebrity television show), and the lover of music, most especially disco.

We would like to wish all of the nominees the best of luck as well as wishing Josie and TinaMarie all the best on their brand new music venue set to be unveiled sometime this summer…..
