Meet Us

Let’s Get Personal

johnny by RCJones PhotographyJohnny Q

John “Johnny Q” Quiroz is the heart and soul of Love The Captive. It is his vision and passion that drive us. When he isn’t exchanging emails with bands and agents or organizing kick-ass shows, he’s spinning mad-crazy beats around town as DJ Johnny Q.

Arturo “Turtle” Breceda has the best nickname of the group. He’s the mind behind the design of Love the Captive, sketching up most of the fliers and posters you see. He’s also a pretty snazzy dresser.

conlan by RCJones PhotographyConlan

Conlan is the one behind Love The Captive’s web presence, in charge of lovethecaptive.com (and usually the one who does the tooting). He’s also a writer, which is why he also runs the LTC blog. You can read more of his words at http://thisisconlan.com.

Occasionally we have to move heavy equipment like amps and beer kegs. That’s why we brought Kelly on board: to handle the heavy lifting. (Also, she sometimes takes pictures and stuff.)

Best Friends

We often depend on the kindness of strangers (and people we know) in our pursuit of awesomeness. These are some of those who have helped out.
