The last biography was complete crap. John Butlers mum is American and his father is Australia, his descendants are traced back to Ireland also. He was born in the USA and moved to Australia around the age of 7. He lived in Pinjarra (small town bout 100kms south of perth) where he attended Pinjarra High. He has an obvious talent for music and began spreading this talent on the streets of Fremantle, particularly in the makrets, where if you are lucky enough to see one of his concerts he will most probably tell you fond stories of these times.
He was discovered at these markets and has since released 4 albums and two Eps.
Self Titled-1998-2001 JBT EP-2000-2002 Three-2001-2003 Living-2001-2002 Zebra Single-2004 Sunrise Over Sea-2004
He currently is Touring Australia on the national Sunrise Over Sea tour with Trio band mates Micheal Barker-drums and Shannon.......
Sunrise Over Sea debuted at Number one on the Australian charts proving that independant records can produce excellent talent, Jarrah Records being the first independant label to have an Artist debut at number one.

He is a talented artist who will go far, recently signing a deal with a US record label.
