Leaving LA

A former computer engineer turned alt-rocker, Wise John composes epic yet intimate soundtracks for the decline of the American empire.
Sonically inheriting from virtuosic arrangers like Queen and Steely Dan, but lyrically closer to James Taylor, his cutting debut album A Wonderful World (2021) was hailed as “one of the most creative, unique, and bold debut statements from an up and coming artist in recent memory” by Cody Conard at The Big Takeover. His follow-up EP of complicated love songs The Mr. Love Sunset Show has received 360k+ streams on Spotify since its release in spring 2023. After stints in LA and NYC, he now lives in Bloomington, Indiana.
