From a young age, John showed a keen interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of four. He quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument and began taking lessons from his father. As John grew older, he began to explore other instruments, including the violin and cello. He also began composing his own music, drawing inspiration from classical composers such as Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. By the time he was a teenager, John had already begun performing in public, playing at local concerts and recitals. In 1993, John was accepted into the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied piano performance under the tutelage of renowned pianist and teacher, Maria João Pires.

After graduating from the academy in 1997, John began performing professionally, playing at concerts and festivals throughout Europe and the United States.

One of John's most notable performances came in 2001, when he was invited to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the Proms concert series. He played a selection of works by Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin, as well as several of his own compositions. The performance was widely praised by critics and cemented John's reputation as one of the most talented pianists of his generation. Over the years, John has received numerous awards and accolades for his work as a musician and composer. In 2005, he was awarded the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Best Instrumentalist, and in 2010, he was named a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in recognition of his contributions to the field of classical music.
