It was his single mother who most influenced Newman&#8217;s love for music, as he taught himself to record, produce tracks, and DJ. At 16, he moved to Leeds to further develop his sound and musical education. Newman&#8217;s music and lyrics are deeply influenced by the hardships he has faced. Not only did his father leave when he was just six years old, but he also endured the loss of two best friends in a car accident. These tragedies often found him crying and singing along to the guitar, channeling his feelings into raw and emotional music. Additionally, Newman underwent surgery for a brain tumor, a life-changing event that highlighted the importance of rest and taking breaks. Singing about love troubles, introspections, and loss, John has captured the hearts of fans who find resonance in his lyrics and fall in love with his voice, character, and work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newman released his debut album <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9yy38p26YrI&amp;list=OLAK5uy_kOCons9MRPeLF45jMDIFzZcgk7vmt8UA4&amp;ab_channel=JohnNewman-Topic\"><b>\u201cTribute\u201d<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2013, heralded by the single <\/span><b>\u201cLove Me Again,\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which remains one of the biggest global hits to this day.
