North Carolina Has Talent 2025
FIRST RUNNER UP - North Carolina Has Talent
John was the Second Place WINNER in the 2025 NC Has Talent Contest where he presented his original song, "Don't Follow ME" to a LIVE audience and esteemed panel of Judges. The setting was intimate - with John seated center stage playing his rare Epiphone Excellente' Masterbilt. "Don't Follow Me" was the only original song to reach the top 3 contenders list in the competition.
The first place position was awarded to Abigail Theakston for her performance of Black Velvet set to a backing track - a song well known for it's driving sound and it's popularity, having nearly 350 million streams on Spotify alone. For "Don't Follow Me" to come in second place to such a powerful song as Black Velvet is a huge recognition.
