John DiBattista

John DiBattista, singer/songwriter, was born and raised in Toronto and began his life

immersed in a rich musical environment at home. John’s father bought him a ukulele at

9 and a 6-string Washburn guitar at 14. His father would sing often and encouraged

young John to sing for friends visiting their home. His first musical heroes were Elvis,

Gordon Lightfoot, the Beatles, John Denver and Ray Charles and more recently, George

Strait and Keith Urban. At age 14, John began performing at local Toronto clubs and

talent shows where people began to take notice of his unique and powerful voice. At 15,

John recorded 2 original songs and had his sights set on sharing his music beyond the

Toronto area. At 17 John traveled around the United States where he began winning

singing competitions and was invited to perform live at local clubs. After returning to

Canada, his distinct voice landed him several commercial jobs on the radio and he

became a member of ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema Television and Radio

Artists). DiBattista continues to craft songs and play live to his growing fan base that are

hooked by John’s moving lyrics, memorable vocals and commanding stage presence. A

recent trip to Nashville solidified John’s passion to continue to write songs that connect

with country and music fans everywhere. The songs, which are a blend of country rock,

blues and folk, allow him to share with you his extraordinary gift of music--music that

touches the heart and soul. Currently John is in the studio recording a CD of his original

works.
