-
John was born in Mosul and completed high school in Kirkuk in 1970.
(Memories must have flooded back when he went to Arbaelo school in Arbil.....seeing a school of over eighty Assyrian students taught entirely in Syriac brought tears to his eyes).
In Baghdad he studied at the Art Institution, specializing in music - he studied classical music for five years and ended up with a Diploma in Music, graduating in 1975.
His first self-titled album was released way back in 1978. A year later, like so many Assyrians in those years, he moved to Chicago, America.
It wasn't until 1982 that he released his first album in America - Ishtar.
The follow up albums came in '84 titled -Awara; after a long break, "Kheeroota" was released in '96, and then, "The best of John" was released in 2007. His latest single was released in 2018
In between releasing albums,
