Short Bio 

Born in Sydney, John, an identical twin, was one of three children. His love of music began at an early age, singing in school choirs and learning classical piano, practicing up to 1.5 hours per day.

Twenty years later he began songwriting, completing more than one hundred songs to date. John’s music is designed to provide inspiration.  It is best described as a mix of New Age, Folk and Adult Contemporary.  His most recent release is the Sing For Joy CD, which allows people to bypass their negative programming and experience the healing power of their own voice.

In 2001, John recorded “Sorry” (a song about reconciliation) which was aired on 4 Triple A (98.9FM) Murri Country radio on National Sorry Day. In 2002 he volunteered to lead a project commissioned by the Human Rights Committee of Logan City under the auspices of Arts Queensland, Logan City Council and BEMAC.

The concert, “Many People, One Voice – A Spotlight on Human Rights” was produced and directed by John and staged at the Logan Entertainment Centre in Brisbane. Putting together a collection of original works, including many of his own, the concert was the culmination of nine months work by volunteers working together to write and perform their own works.

In 2003 John won 3rd place at the Redlands Festival, (Open Own Composition) with “The Traveller” (a song about trusting your spirit) and in December 2007 was awarded Runner Up International Song of the Year with “LOVE”.

John has had a long association with The Relaxation Centre in Brisbane.  He facilitates workshops at corporate events and private retreats, helping others discover the joy of singing by finding their true inner voice. People like Chris James, Mikal Neilsen and Dick Rigby, have inspired John’s work and he has honed his music facilitation skills with Brian Martin.

Recent festivals include Joyfest (1 & 2), Harmony Day for Logan City, where John hosted a Sing-a-long activity with participants singing for peace & harmony and the Night of Light (a mass healing event).

In corporate workshops John uses sound and song to help break down barriers and to unite groups of people. 

Corporate clients include Logan City Council, The Australian Acting Academy, Health World (Metagenics) and the Australian Aromatherapy & Aromatic Medicine Association.
