John began his musical journey in his early teens performing across Atlantic Canada as a guitarist in various bands. He studied music at Humber College and York University. John's debut CD, Stranger in the Mirror, was produced by long-time friend Creighton Doane and mixed by Harry Hess. The first single "Forgive Me" peaked at #36 on the Canadian BDS AC charts after only 2 weeks on the air. Always in 'songwriter' mode, John has collaborated with Warner Music recording artist Natalie McMaster, along with producer Kevin McMichael of Cutting Crew and Robert Plant. He has shared the stage with the likes of Steve Earle and Tom Cochrane to mention a few. He was also asked to perform at an event for Justin Trudeau during his campaign. In 2019, John co-wrote a new single for an up and coming music artist, produced by Mike Turner, (Our Lady Peace) and has worked extensively with guitarist David Wipper, (Alanah Myles, Amanda Marshall) on various tracks and live performances. John's rate for a half hour private lesson is $25.
