Meet Courtney John, the reggae rocker, that enigmatic, rare artist who comes along every once in a while, with uniqueness that simply radiates. Blessed with a gift for creating music that speaks to the human condition, Courtney John sings about love, about life, about relationships and about good times; and of course, the women love his music, especially his trademark falsetto which resonates romance, transcending social and cultural boundaries. Courtney John’s songwriting and production capabilities are well respected among his peers. 
Writing, singing and producing comes naturally to Courtney John who was born into a musical family. He grew up listening to his uncles Winston and Beres Hammond, so it came as no surprise, when at age twelve; Courtney John wrote and performed his first song. He acknowledges being influenced by the singing styles of Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder while his peers have called him a modern day Slim Smith; some say he’s like a young Eddie Kendrick’s or even Curtis Mayfield.
Nevertheless, Courtney John is quick to admit he is a work in progress. “I get bored easily. What you get on this album, is not necessarily what will be on the next,” he smiles, “It’s about creating quality music that is positively progressive, that touches people where they live.” His vocal styling is captivatingly sultry yet strong. His melancholic strains get under your skin.
Courtney John’s solo efforts has garnered him some of music’s highest accolades. Courtney John’s releases From Letters to Words and 2009’s Made in Jamaica with the infectious single "Lucky Man" saw crossover success and was picked for the 2011 Axe/Lynx summer campaign that ran in the UK.  Lucky Man is also featured in the Jon Favreau’s movie “Chef” and on its soundtrack and Julianne Moore’s “Still Alice”. Currently Lucky Man has over 1 million streams on Spotify. 
Courtney has also penned and produced hits for international stars, Nelly Furtado & Michael Franti, as well as Luciano, Mr. Vegas and reggae legends Joseph Hill, Beres Hammond, Culture and Marcia Griffiths to name a few.
Vocal and lyrical contribution to Sly & Robbie’s 2011 Grammy Nominated Album “One Pop Reggae” only further established John as a musical heavyweight and his title as the worldwide “Lovers Rocker.”
Jamaica’s Irie FM, recognized Courtney John as Best Male artist of 2007 and his album, Unselfish as Best Album of 2007 and Singles like Miss You, Baby Tonight, and When You Say, have hit the Top 10 charts. Unselfish was the first album recorded as Courtney John. Previously, he was Yogie who broke through with That Was Then and I Go Crazy.
In 2012, Courtney invited producers to work on a new genre he co-created called “Rootstronic”. He eventually named the project, The Courtney John Project and released an album called Future in 2013. The Courtney John project has enjoyed praise on numerous indie blogs and caught the eye of Billboard Magazine’s Patricia Meschino who wrote an article titled “How Reggae Meets EDM in Jamaica’s 'Rootstronic' Courtney John Project” about her experience with the project.
Courtney John just released the singles: “Yes We Are” and “All the Way” from his upcoming fifth solo studio album set to be release June 16, 2017.
