John Newman

John Newman began his remarkable journey as a singer, songwriter, DJ, and producer in 2012 when he lent his powerful vocals to Rudimental’s UK Number One hit, “Feel the Love.” This breakout track quickly introduced Newman’s soulful energy to fans worldwide and set the stage for the boundary-pushing success that followed. Growing up on a council estate in a small Northern English town and DJing on borrowed gear, John Newman defied the odds early on, proving that an unwavering passion for music could propel him to the top of the charts.

The real turning point came with Newman’s global phenomenon “Love Me Again.” Debuting at Number One in the UK Official Charts, the single soared into the Top 10 in over 30 countries and amassed 1.6 billion streams—forever carving Newman’s name into pop history. By 2014, he pushed the boundaries even further with “Blame,” a record-breaking collaboration alongside Calvin Harris that became the first Spotify track to surpass 10 million streams in a single week while also setting the mark for most-streamed song in one day. His knack for blending punchy dance beats with soulful vocal depth caught the attention of international powerhouses like Kygo, David Guetta, Galantis, and more, leading to an impressive tally of nine Number One records as both a songwriter and artist.

Along the way, John Newman secured three BRIT Award nominations and garnered over 2.5 billion total streams, illustrating his enduring appeal across diverse musical landscapes. In 2021, after taking time to refocus and explore new inspirations, he reignited his career with the high-energy single “If You Really Love Me (How Will I Know)” in collaboration with David Guetta and MistaJam. Merging Whitney Houston’s timeless melody with Newman’s emotive performance and Guetta’s signature dance production, the track reaffirmed his place at the forefront of the global music scene.

Today, John Newman is entering a vibrant new chapter defined by energetic, dance-led solo music and a fresh live show that highlights his dual mastery as a DJ and a vocalist renowned for spine-tingling performances. Whether commanding the microphone onstage or shaping the soundscapes from behind the decks, Newman continues to push creative boundaries while honoring the soulful authenticity that made him a household name in the first place. With each project, he proves that unwavering dedication, raw talent, and a willingness to evolve remain at the core of his enduring success.
