John Rankin and his acoustic guitar caught everyone’s attention...Rankin had the ability to relax the crowd that was anxiously awaiting John Legend’s performance and used his songwriting aptitudes to translate an honest emotion. Suggestive of influences from a young Levine or Gavin Degraw, Rankin has the capability to make people feel his heart in his music. - FDRMX

Bio
John began his musical journey studying classical violin. At age 16, he found a nylon-string guitar in his parent's basement and taught himself to play by writing his own music. He self-describes his style as upbeat rhythmic soul, and frequently uses a looper to mix violin, guitar, beats, and vocal harmonies throughout his live shows. Similar to Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Otis Redding.
