“Kissing Other Girls”
About
In the pulsating world of the dance-pop, John Conlin is a beacon of honest lyricism. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Conlin’s musical journey began with a singular vision – to document the human condition through the power of song. He was just four years old when he learned how to play the piano and it wasn’t long before he began drifting away from the notes on the page to create his own compositions. Conlin’s early days were a testament to hard work and dedication as he taught himself the intricacies of production on his first laptop. It was here that he discovered his gift for creating massively catchy melodies. Daring to be different, Conlin paired said infectious hooks with profound and honest lyricism. Each line is torn from the pages of his heart, reflecting his own experiences and the universal emotions we all share. Conlin’s music is a celebration of hope, an auditory testament to the belief that brighter days are just within reach. His songs are more than just an invitation to dance; they are a reminder that, even in the darkest moments, a glimmer of light can always be found. With massive synthesizers, thumping beats, and diaristic storytelling, Conlin’s music paints a sonic lifeline that pulls listeners from the depths of sorrow and transports them onto the dancefloor of life.

“[Conlin] has taken a “maximalist approach” to pop music that’s reminiscent of the early 2010’s but still managing to carve out a futuristic niche for himself.”
“One such genre is dance pop, which has taken over the world by storm. In this storm we have a tornado headed towards the cities to blow everyone away. That tornado is John Conlin.”

“Conlin made a name for himself with his unique technicolor electropop sound that never fails to fill listeners with vibrant emotion to dancing the night away.”
“Conlin’s ability to blend infectious melodies with poignant storytelling, [creates] music that resonates deeply with listeners on both an emotional and sonic level.”
“Inspired by the dance revolution of the 80s and groups like LA-based Muna, MGMT, and Bleachers, Conlin’s music is an unlikely mix of nostalgia with upfront modernism.”
“Life and love through its rose-colored lyrics and visuals.”
