Bio:: John Cade was born in Dulwich on the 9th of December 1977 I grew up in southeast London on a council estate in Demarkhill, Camberwell during the 80s with my mum and my sister I went to Bessemer Grange Primary which was the best time iv hade growing up then I went to William Penn in red post hill I didn't like it in fact I hated it so much I left there with no G.C.S.Es when everyone else was doing there’s I was already working. My mum brought me my first guitar I was about 7 it was an acoustic my teacher in primary school at the time was Miss Sharpen and she taught me about three chords and rest l learnt myself it seemed to come quite natural to me I think the guitar isn’t something someone can teach you it has to be in you. There was always music playing in our household, motown mainly my mum was always playing Marvin Gaye, Otis Reading, Steve Wonder, Sam Cook, Diana Ross, and that was the music I was brought up on that was Saturdays, Sundays was Country Music and that’s where I think I get some of my early influences from so thanks mum I was totally into the Beatles for a long time they say your ether a beatle or a stone and i was totally a Beatle "I had a Beatles complete compilation song book and I used to open the pages, pick some lines from different songs and put them together and that’s how id right songs in the early day of my song writing that was when I was about 14 and I still use some of those songs today But it was 1994 and it was the start of the brit pop scene that’s when I heard this guitar riff on the radio and it just blew me away I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing and what I was hearing was supersonic by Oasis and that was it the seed was planted that was what I was going to do for me Noel Gallagher brought the guitar back because it was dead during the 80s there was really nothing worth listening to so I formed a band ‘THE SCENE’ which was managed by Pat Barlow who was the ex-Status Quo manager back in the early days he got us some big gigs ‘The Shed’ up in Birmingham in front of 2000 people Bar Fly The Litton Tree all the places you’d find up and coming bands we were together for about 6 years then we fell out and haven’t spoke for about 10 years so this is my first solo project My influences have changed over the years going from the Beatles, the Kinks, The Small Faces, Steve Marriott is a huge influence on me also Paul Weller from the jam days to the style council and beyond to more recent artists like the killers, ocean colour scene,
