St. John made his mark in Nashville after inking with King Pen Music by way of Warner Chappell at the end of 2022. This is the blues crooner’s first publishing deal. “I was knocked out by Liam’s voice when I first heard it,” shares King Pen Music President Kelly King. “He is such a creative and unique artist with a vision like no other.

Liam St. John backs his powerhouse vocals with the swagger and passion of a gritty blues singer.
Liam paid his dues in the trenches of the live music scene. Before he was singing to sold-out crowds screaming his lyrics, he was playing at open mics and empty dive bars for nothing but a sip of well-whiskey.
In 2020, Liam wowed Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton on season 19 of NBC’s The Voice with his bluesy rendition of Marcy Playground’s “Sex and Candy”. Shelton was impressed by Liam’s versatility in the pocket, his falsetto, and his trademark soulful screams. Ultimately, St. John chose the decorated icon, Gwen Stefani, who described his voice as “incredible” and “rich.”
