John Buckley is a 20 year old singer songwriter from Padstow. John’s rather rapid growth in popularity began when he was studying at Truro College, and was content playing open-mic nights and busking on Padstow harbour.

Buckley’s enchanting vocal and unique style shone through these simple, stripped back performances and he rightly gained a loyal following from it. John began uploading song covers to his Facebook page which quickly saw a devoted following grow.

Despite only having three original songs available online, John Buckley has differentiated himself from other acoustic guitar-wielding singer-songwriters in his sphere. He makes catchy, Folky, acoustic-driven Indie-Pop that’s incredibly relatable, particularly with his young fan base.

Buckley has found a nice mixture of Paolo Nutini, Matt Corby, Daughter and Ed Sheeran in his approach to songwriting and performance. BBC Introducing and Radio 1 picked up his own material and spread the word in 2016.

Three releases and a string of festival performances later and it appears he’s on route to big things. John Buckley only has three songs available on Spotify and they’ve already accumulated more than a million streams between them. Tickets avialble at Myticket.co.uk.

For aspiring singers who want to go beyond the world they live in, this is the perfect time to invest in instruments like guitars at allaxess and soon prove yourself to be a star.
