Addi John makes music for the hopeful, the people who aren’t content with living a normal life. After years of touring with his former project “Lost in Japan”, a multi award winning band with millions of streams, Addi John started self producing his own songs out of his apartment. His minimalist approach to producing and songwriting portrays a familiar feeling that makes listeners instantly connect with his songs. 
With a debut EP on the way in 2025 as well as a brand new unforgettable live show, Addi John is soon to be another Canadian household name. As well as one to watch for.

Music has always had a large impact on me, through my life I've been faced with much adversity and that has been a blessing and a curse, I now try to express my views and emotion through music by offering a powerful message focusing on self-awareness, self-betterment, and independence, and perseverance through music.
I find in large popular music these days portrays an image of over indulgence, greed, violence, and hatred, which falls on the ears of our impressionable youth. I find that we as a people emphasize too much on the material aspect of our society and cease to focus on more important ones like Unity, family, love, happiness, and spirituality. The objective is to create music that the majority of listeners can relate to, while staying true and real to my life and my beliefs.
A positive message coming from a genre like hip hop can help those who may be down and dealing with personal life struggles, creating positive vibes and motivating music that can resonate within others. Life is not ONLY about partying, spending money and living like a celebrity and engaging in destructive activities. Life is about BALANCE and Community.
 I have been song writing and recording since a young teen and in 2013 I decided to record more professionally  while in College in hopes of delivering my message through refreshing Hip-Hop and Uplifting Music. This quickly became more of a pursuit to deliver a true message and build a movement, which I aim to bring to as many listeners as possible. A lot has happened over the years and I have taken some time away from creating new material as I dealt with close loses in the family involving my young cousins. The most recent occurred in February of this year, when an older cousin Janek who was very much an older brother to me passed away from overdose after struggling with addiction and homelessness. 
While this has been the hardest death to deal with but has now renewed the pursuit of spreading my message and helping give a voice to the voiceless. As well as encouraged me to pursue healing  myself through counseling and the proper channels. 
In Late 2021 I began recording a Project called the Lost Tapes Vol 2. It is a composition of tracks written over the last 5 years, touching on loss, perseverance, seeking happiness, and being reminiscent of past times. I will be looking to release this project in the second half of 2022.
Thank you for your time, I hope to share more with you though in the future through my music
Respectfully,
