Chris St John (born September 25, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter best known for his albums I’m Dreaming[1] and Fly Away.[2][3] He rose to popularity with the release of his debut album I’m Dreaming in 2021, which comprises four chart-toppers on the World Indie Music Charts and the Euro Indie Music Network.[4]

John's songs are a mix of pop, rock, and country, as well as folk, soft rock, and Americana, and they reflect his expertise in thought-provoking ageless poetry.[5] John has been writing songs for over three decades now, which are largely influenced by John’s personal and professional life.[6]

Early life and education

John was born on September 25, 1965 in Brooklyn, NY. He began writing songs when he was seven years old and since then has been passionately following his interests in music. While growing up, John was largely influenced by the industry giants The Beatles, Eagles, Cat Stevens, and the Grateful Dead. At the age of 14, John got his first guitar and started composing more songs, performing at local events. It was during this time that he decided to pursue a career as a musician.

Career

John released his debut album in 2021 titled I’m Dreaming, which comprises 15 songs.[7] Soon after its release, the album gained mass popularity and four of its songs got featured on the World Indie Music Charts and the Euro Indie Music Network.[8][9]

After garnering much attention in the music industry, John began working on his next album, titled Fly Away,[10][11] which was released on February 25, 2022 on his son’s birthday. It comprises 13 songs.[12] He collaborated with Stephen Wrench, a renowned music producer, on this project and released the album’s songs independently. The first song “Hey Siri,”[13][14] soon after its release hit no. 1 on the World Indie Music Charts and the Euro Indie Music Network and remained there for five weeks.[15]

Prior to becoming a professional musician, John worked in the State Department and was also a Congressional Aide and is now a volunteer firefighter.[16] In 2015, he and a friend founded HALO Missions, a non-profit organization that provides medical care, clothing, food, farming equipment, and surgery to AIDS orphans and the destitute in Africa, Central America, and the Caribbean.[17]
