Johnny May was born in London, Ontario. There, his love of music blossomed into a successful song-writing career that he balances with his love of telling stories, his work as a physician in Guelph and his volunteer service at medical outreach clinics in Guatemala. He recently released an album entitled Alone In This Together, which is available on iTunes and at www.johnnymaymusic.ca.
His quirky animal characters, inspired by friends and family and influenced by his earlier career as a biologist studying small creatures, were invented to entertain his two young sons. These yarns eventually became the Magnath Chronicles.
