"Born performer, whose smile has the ability to blind and whose voice has the ability to pierce the heart" - Musicroom.com

After John’s debut album, aptly named "The Pavement is My Stage" reached No.7 in the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts he took a leap of faith and left his job as a Mathematics Teacher. That gamble paid off and John has gone on to support household names such as Take That, Lemar, Stooshe, T’Pau and Katherine Jenkins. His hard work and impressive live performance has gained a strong following of 21,000 twitter followers, 28,000 Facebook fans and over 6 million views on YouTube.

Eager to show his progression John will be releasing his EP “You Never Know Who’s Listening” this year which combines his live organic sound with a minimal electronic production to make a sound that is satisfyingly different from the usual guitar wielding Singer/Songwriter. The first release “Dandelion Wishes” has received over two million plays on Spotify promising to be this year’s most talked about viral Spotify hit. This was followed by his latest single “See You Again” that has already been play listed by BBC Radio Wales and been awarded BBC Wales/Arts Council Launchpad funding.
