John wrote and produced his first project, "Sides of The Soul" in 2009.  He toured over 30 shows with Sister Hazel, opened for BB King, and sang on NBC's Today Show.  Out of 12,000 entries, John's songs placed in the top 10 of the NSAI songwriting contest 3 years in a row.  After 5 years of meetings and working his way into the Nashville writing community, John signed his first publishing deal as a staff writer with Reba Mcentire's company Starstruck in October 2013.  


"John is a powerhouse of precision vocals", David Kershenbaum, (produced Bryan Adams, Tracy Chapman)

"Incredible melodic instinct-one of the strongest singers I've seen in a long time.  True Artist." Robert Johnson ( writer/producer-Celine Dion, Lynyrd Skynrd) 

The Tupelo native has released an album that is pretty much incredible, especially from a "new"artist that writes, produces, and performs all of their material.  Milstead has what some call an "old soul". - Chuck Dauphin, Music News Nashville-
