John Newman rose to fame with his award-winning albums “Tribute” (2013) and “Revolve” (2015). Before his music career took off, he worked as a barman in London, where he befriended Piers Agget of Rudimental. Their collaboration resulted in two of Rudimental’s biggest hits in 2012, “Feel the Love” and “Not Giving In.”

Newman’s talent as a songwriter led to collaborations with renowned artists such as Jessie J, Calvin Harris, and Olly Murs. At the height of his career, he faced a life-changing challenge when he was diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumor that affected his vision. During his recovery, he experienced a surreal moment when he heard “Feel the Love” playing on the radio while in the hospital. The song went on to reach number one on the charts after his release.

Despite his success, Newman celebrated his chart-topping album “Tribute” in a unique way—by building a shed with his best friend. Prior to pursuing music full-time, he considered becoming a mechanic.

In recent years, Newman has continued to captivate audiences with his soulful voice and captivating live performances. He has toured globally and graced major music festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella. His accolades include two Brit Awards and a Grammy nomination. With over 10 million records sold worldwide, Newman’s music has achieved multi-platinum certifications in multiple countries.

Beyond his music, Newman is known for his philanthropic efforts, supporting organizations such as the Teenage Cancer Trust and the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity. His passion for music and commitment to making a positive impact make him an inspiration to fans and fellow artists alike.
