About

With a distinctive and infectious RnB sound, John Casper surprisingly draws his inspiration from the likes of Ben Howard, Adele, Kanye West and Giggs. Although his influences all hail from an eclectic range of genres they each excel in their songwriting ability, and it is clear that John has put as much focus on the written component of this Smoking Blues as the musical elements.

John Casper’s interest in music began to develop throughout secondary school. After writing grime at the age of 11 for mini rap battles on the playground he eventually began to fall in love with music through listening to more hip-hop in his late teens. He cites Tha Carter 3, Graduation and 808s & Heartbreaks as some of the albums that really turned his head. As John matured in age, he began to become more open minded to different sounds and as he learnt about music he traded writing raps for writing songs, leading him to his debut.
