“John, who attends the Arouca Revival Tabernacle Church, is currently working on three more singles to be released later in the year. Another full-length album titled the Gospel of Romance, is also on his list to be completed this year. He indicated that the tracks on that album would focus on love and relationships in the lives of Christian couples. “I always wanted to write songs that speak to that aspect of a Christian’s life, because we fall in love just like anybody else, we have emotional and physical struggles just like anybody else, but we never really talk about it,” revealed John. “This album is really just revealing the reality of a Christian’s walk in life with Christ as a disciple, but also as a man and how we deal with the issue of love and relationships.” The El Dorado Secondary School alumnus, when asked his future plans stated: “I just want to continue making good music that will touch the lives of people bringing them closer to a relationship with Christ”
