One of the World's most interesting, innovative, entertaining and humble individuals, Johnny Ciao did not get his start in the culinary world like most so-called chefs. Working as a personal manager, concert promoter and entertainment marketing executive, he always prepared meals for his celebrity friends and clients. Johnny grew up in New York and was an avid music lover. He began his radio career at an early age of 17 on rhythmn and blues stations. At the age of 19 he was promoting major rock concerts in Florida and Jazz in Atlanta at venues including the Fox Theater, Sunshine Speedway, others whose names have changed. From personal manager to Baseball Legend Henry (Hank) Aaron and many others, he was always ahead of the upcoming trends.

Johnny along with partner Mike Cooper created one of the most innovative companies during the Music Video Explosion in the '80's. They distributed clips from every record company around the World to broadcast and non-broadcast outlets. MVS was responsible for compiling the very first music video chart, which was published weekly in TV Guide, Rolling Stone and USA Today.

His 3rd book titled 'Eating Life' chronicles the many years he has spent as an entrepreneur, entertainer and friend, not only to the Legends in the World of Music, Film and Television, but to human beings from all walks of Life!
