Once in a while, you will meet someone who's not from your town and you'd love for them to stay a bit longer... John Niel's latest single, 'Red Dress' all about his moment and how a traveller ends up never leaving because they fall in love.

The single is part of John's debut album “Long Time Coming”. It has been described as "perfect pop in the tradition of Lennon /McCartney" and beyond its years for an artist so young. 

Watch the video for 'Red Dress' below:

“I started writing songs back in 2009 while I was still a teenager. I fell in love with the feeling I got while expressing my emotions through lyrics and melody. I quickly became attached to my guitar and soon it became the thing I used to escape," the singer shares about his passion for music.

OFM Nights' Renaldo Schwarp caught up with John in #Soundcheck - listen to the podcast below.
