Born in Houston, Texas, the last of six children, John W. Tigert lost his father at the age of nine. Raised with good morals, belief in God, and a mother’s strong will, the foundation was laid for John’s passage into manhood sooner than most.

 As a teenager, country and western music played in the background at home or in the car. Naturally John rebelled and started a rock and roll band. John’s drive and love for music earned him a “full-ride” music scholarship. He attended San Jacinto College in Houston where he studied voice, guitar and computer technology.

In an unexpected turn of events along the way, John went to sing karaoke one night while out with some of his buddies. On a dare, John sang “I Love The Way You Love Me” which met with an overwhelming response from the bar crowd, and in turn, changed John’s musical direction toward country. He revamped his band to travel the country roads for the next five years.

 John Tigert’s music is straight up, sturdy and honest. A singer, songwriter and MOSTLY self-taught musician (proficient on lead and acoustic guitars, mandolin, bass, drums, and piano), John pulls sounds from all over the musical map. He accredits his artistic style to the music he listened to as a teenager, “Elton John AND Billy Joel taught me passion. Queensrÿche led me to my vocal ABILITY, and Ozzy and Kiss taught me how to rock a show”.

John moved to Nashville to return to the roots of county music. Since then with a compilation of writes and co-writes from 10 independently recorded projects over the course of 10 years, John is getting ready to release his first national debut  "COMING HOME, BACK TO MY ROOTS" WHICH is a 13-song rollercoaster ride.

“Coming Home” The first radio single was inspired as a message of comfort to all of those families who have loved ones in Iraq. “After performing ‘Coming Home’ at a show, I had the opportunity to visit with a Sgt. in the National Guard who came through the meet and greet line,” John continued. “The soldier looked me straight in the eye and said ‘when military men and women demonstrate excellence in service in the field, they are honored with a medal as a token of that excellence. I want to present this to you, my medal AND my hat as my appreciation to you for sharing this song with all of us’. "SO NOW, I am doing what I am meant to do” SAY'S JOHN.
