I was born in the Netherlands, in a place called Nijmegen. Already as a kid, I was always busy with music and singing. Being in several bands from Country Rock to Rock Covers, I´ve been always on the search to do the best I can do. I grew up with Hard Rock/Metal like KISS, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and so on, country was always there, on a thin line, besides the Hardrock/Metal-thing. Nowadays, I live in Germany, in the beautiful Hunsrück-region, together with my lovely wife Anet. On my YouTubepage (www.youtube.com/@johnsmiths2068), I published several covers of Country-songs and a few Rock Ballads.
