Biography
John Berry has one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in country music. It’s a stunningly rich, majestic tenor that he uses to its full effect. With multiple gold and platinum albums and nominations from the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, and the Grammy’s, he has clearly forged an appreciation from the music industry and fans alike. One such fan includes former President George H. Bush and wife Barbara, who invited John to sing for Mr. Bush’s birthday party.
Born in Aiken, South Carolina, and raised in the Atlanta, Georgia area, John grew up in an eclectic musical household. His father listened to concert pianist Van Clyburn, his mother had a strong taste for gospel, and his brother became an opera singer. John gravitated to both soul and country music and began recording his own albums at home in 1979. Two years later, John started performing solo acoustic shows in northeast Georgia, then expanded around the southeast, building a strong name and following. As his reputation grew, so did the demand for his self-styled recordings. He eventually made six self-produced albums, with the last one selling over 10,000 copies. He was finally signed to Capitol Records in 1992.
John had his first #1 single in 1994 with “Your Love Amazes Me,” with “She’s Taken a Shine” and “Standing on the Edge of Goodbye” following suit. Other Top 10 releases included “You and Only You” “I Think About It All The Time”, “What’s In It For Me”, “If I Had Any Pride Left At All”, and “Change My Mind.” “Standing On The Edge”, as well as his edgy top 10 hit “Kiss Me in the Car,” showed off John’s songwriting ability.
