Songwriter. Londoner.

John Lion is a London-based singer-songwriter. Working his way through London’s underground scene, John crafts the kind of music he wants to hear on the radio: catchy and melody-driven.

2024 ended on a high note for John Lion and his band, with their first festival slot at Hertfordshire’s Begin Here festival and the honour of supporting 60s legends The Zombies. His 6 singles have collectively garnered over 180k streams, receiving radio airplay and praise from influential blogs.

His dynamic presence continues to shine as he regularly performs with his band at some of London's most prestigious venues, including The Bedford, Spice of Life, and the St Moritz Club. These stages have become a regular platform for showcasing his evolving sound and connecting with an ever-growing audience.

John Lion knows how to take what sounds good from his main inspirations (mostly 60’s acts with a dash of Britpop) and adapt it to his music, making the finished sound truly his own.

John Lion is now back in the studio, crafting his eagerly anticipated debut EP, which promises to be the next exciting chapter in his journey.
