John Riot
John Riot is a Berlin artist who brings a powerful voice to the queer community and fights tirelessly for more acceptance and tolerance. John’s sound is unmistakable: a mix of melancholic lyrics, rough voice and pure pop club beats with a touch of the 80s. The deep themes of his songs often stand in stark contrast to the pulsating, danceable beats – a powerful message to his listeners: you can dance and cry, feel joy and pain at the same time. John inspires you to emerge stronger from your own traumas and to create positives from negatives. He became known through the 6th season of “The Voice of Germany”.
