John Maison

John Maison’s personality comes though his music in every song. What you see is what you get.

“I write songs that relate to me and the people in my life,” Maison Says. “If you listen to enough of my music, you can tell what type of life I lead”

As a child, Maison grew up in Southeast Michigan. “My dad was a self-employed plumber, and he to me to work with him,” Maison Says. “Long rides in the work van meant listening to a lot of radio” Maison Quickly took interest to country and rock. “Air guitar solos” and singing into “soap microphones” in the shower quickly turned into stage performances. Professionally trained since the age of 14; John Began singing in the choir and writing songs.

Following his parent’s advice, John put his music career on hold to attend collage at Michigan State University where he received a degree in finance. John also attended Grad school at Walsh College where he received an MBA. Throughout college, John would write songs in his apartment every week with hopes of recording them one day. “Every time I wrote a song, I’d put it in one of those big Coca-cola piggy bank bottles,” Maison Says. “I told myself once it was full, I would pick my best songs and record them”.

In 2008, John Landed a spot as a semi-finalist on GAC Star, which provided many new opportunities. Opening for Artist such as Eric Church, and radio airplay on Ycountry 97.5 along with national exposure from GAC Television, has allowed Maison to further fuel his goal to have the country listen to his music.

In 2009, Maison has spent most of his time co-writing songs with such known writers as Marc Barnette, and performing throughout Nashville, and South East Michigan; as well as recording in Nashville with producer Jay Vern, (credits, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Lone Star, Gretchen Wilson, Jo Dee Messina, Lonnie Mack, Rick Derringer).
