The LJC Project hails from New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia. LJC has an extensive background in writing, recording, and performing as a guitarist for a few bands. He has a discography that includes a few releases from metal/hard rock band he cofounded called "Next Stop Earth" and one cd from Philly favorite, the band "STONE". Campanella cut his teeth trying to replicate the likes of Eddie Van Halen and would even cofound a Van Halen tribute band that did quite well. Over the years he would come to appreciate so many fantastic guitarists and according to Campanella, "its so hard to pinpoint influences. But with that being said, Vai, Petrucci, LeTekro, Takasaki and 70s pop and lite rock all play a role in my melodic sense of playing and writing".
