Soul? Funk? Hip-hop? Rock? Jazz? Folk? This North London based singer and multi-instrumentalist of Irish parents isn’t too bothered with the straitjacket imposed by such generic terminology.

Born in Camden Town, John Myers taught himself several instruments from an early age, with the exception of the violin, which he was introduced to at the age of 8. Hearing the music of Scott Walker, Jimi Hendrix and The Modern Jazz Quartet played around the house was bound to have an effect on his future musical direction; he even liked AC/DC long before they became the favoured choice of Mondeo drivers.

Already writing many songs, his time at Salford University studying Popular Music And Recording saw him forming his own band which toured the UK, France, Italy and Norway. He was also highly commended as a runner-up in the PRS John Lennon Songwriting Awards.

Upon his return to London, he quickly realised an ambition of his to perform on “Top Of The Pops” as part of Shane MacGowan And The Popes. This led to touring work that involved playing many prestigious venues and festivals worldwide such as The Forum, The House Of Blues (LA), The Point (Dublin), The Fleadh (USA and UK), Montreux Jazz Festival, Roskilde (Denmark) and Pinkpop (Holland). In addition, he could also be seen on TV shows such as “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” (NBC) and “Late Late Show” (RTE), as well as heard on live sessions for Radio 1.

He was also featured on a wide array of recordings for acts such as Kylie Minogue and Mike Oldfield (details of which are listed in the discography section), and continues to contribute to other recording artists’ releases.

With a Top 30 single co-writing credit as well as a publishing deal with Bucks Music, he has recently been performing solo at venues such as the Kashmir Klub and The Bedford, as well as debuting a live band recently. His album is due for release in early 2008.
