Jann is looking forward to sharing this ride with his fans and friends. “Love You The Most,” his duet with Alicia Madison, is still on the Media Base’s Hot AC and Top 40 radio charts after four months; it’s been streamed over 3.5 million times!  The song, (which previews the Amazon movie "Married Young") broke the Top 50, and inspired Voice of America’s Larry London to invite the two to be interviewed on his “Border Crossings” radio show heard all over the world.

This multi-Independent Music Award (IMA)-winning pop singer-songwriter has released six albums and two EPs. He was raised in Kenya, South Africa, Germany and the United States, and has performed on those continents plus in Asia through the years. Jann is an ambassador for Desmond Tutu's TutuDesk campaign and Brick by Brick Uganda. He is the singing voice of Tim Buckley in the movie "Greetings from Tim Buckley" (Tribeca Films / Universal).

Singers enjoy working with Jann. Signed to South Africa’s legendary Gallo Records, his most recent album, “In Tandem” includes duets with some of South Africa’s leading pop-singer-songwriters including coaches from that country’s “The Voice.” He’s toured there since 2015, first as an independent artist. Recently, Jann sang with Liz Callaway on her recent “Comfort and Joy – An Acoustic Christmas” album.

At the Bitter End show, Jann will perform both fan favorites and new songs for his upcoming 2022 album, including co-writes with Alex Forbes (known for Taylor Dayne’s “Don’t Rush Me,” and hits in South Africa). Onstage, Jann will be joined by guitarist Michael Also and special guest singers Brooke Matza and Ms. Madison; her dance music hit “Toxic Rain” hit number 1 on the Billboard Dance charts. Alicia’s 2019 EDM single “In and Out” streamed 10 million times on Spotify.

The album also includes one new demo of the melodic “Anything,” and the original artist demos for “Make it Better,” “On and On,” “Long Goodbye,” “Falling Tears,” and “Four Leaf Clover.”
