The gospel-inspired love song, which was written by Galea, was co-produced by John & Oscar Lo Brutto (Wretch32, Scorcher) and has been remixed by Matt Pop & OLB, and its official music video was recently filmed on location in Central London.“Songwriter” follows the success of Galea’s 5 Independent EP’s starting with The Scrapbook EP (2012), Under Attack (2013), Notes From My Piano (2014) and ‘Missing Pages’ (2016) which featured single ‘When You Truly Love Someone’ which hit Top 10 in the Commercial Charts in 2017, which featured Celebrity Gemma Oaten in the music video. John followed up that success with his Christmas EP ' Christmas Round The Piano' (2018), scoring a Top 30 iTunes Charting track in 2019 with his Christmas song 'A Simple Christmas'. Galea followed up that success with his hit single “Hero Within You” featuring Guildhall Opera Singing Sensation Hannah Long. 2020 saw John score his first iTunes Number #1 in 2020 with his track ‘Hero Within You’ recorded with Singing sensation Hannah Long & John teamed up with Chart topping Rapper Ironik on the single ‘Don’t Wanna Die' which was the first single taken from his 6th EP ‘The Art Of Collaboration’.When asked about his latest single Galea said, “‘Songwriter’ was one of the longest songs I've taken to write, and probably now my favorite. It's taken literally years! I have had so many versions that have had different hooks or vibes and they just didn't feel right, then finally writing my 1st album, I sat down at my piano and the song just fell into place. The song is all about sharing whatever you have with the most special person in the world.” Galea started songwriting when he was 13 after winning a UK National Songwriting Contest with his track “I Am Not An Angel.” Following that win he started writing for artists such as Lao Ra (Jesus Made Me Bad), Thea Garrett (Frontline) & Gianluca Bezzina (Come Float Away) and more! Around this time his track “Trendsetter” was synced on US TV. Galea has also toured the UK supporting the likes of McFly and Boyzlife, as well as performing on the main stage for London Pride, Birmingham Pride, Northern Pride, Norwich Pride, as well as the main stage on festivals like The Sundown Festival and more.

You've blessed my life with many conversations in the past due to my connection to helping all up and coming performers have a pleasant place to spread their wings as creative souls. Wow that sounds like a very big artistic portrait but it's the truth! Radio doesn't serve the new artist like it should therefore there are a lot of us out here that believe that the inside sleeve of an album is still one of the greatest journeys of all time.
