Liam St. John had plenty of opportunities to call it quits, to stop pursuing his dreams as a singer and songwriter. He wouldn’t need to feel bad; he had worked his ass off for years and sometimes, things just don’t work out the way you plan. But that’s what makes this story all the sweeter. St. John is a star for all the dreamers, a guiding light for following the things that give you life even when all the signs are neon bright and emphatically suggesting to stop, to quit, to turn around! The Spokane-born artist first found validation that he made the right call back in 2020 when he wowed Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton on season 19 of NBC’s The Voice with his sexy and bluesy take on “Sex and Candy.” Before ultimately landing in Nashville, after getting knocked out of the battle rounds on The Voice, Liam bet it all on himself and moved to Los Angeles, where he wrote his first hit, “Dipped in Bleach.” With that success and the subsequent move to Nashville, St. John started writing new songs, and on these, he challenged himself to write more deeply, expand his sonic range, and tease out new strands of the roots and rock and roll that fans have grown so enamored by over the years. The results, tracks like “Landslide Over The Highway” and “Believer,” are his strongest to date. For Liam, it’s never been about “if,” but “when.” Put in the work, stay patient, stay humble, and results will come. “It has to happen. There’s no other option. I think I understood that because I saw my mom just figure it out when it seemed like there was no possible way to figure it out,” he explains, before adding: “And yet you still do.”
