JB Barnett is a singer/songwriter from Houston, TX.  He completed a degree in Recording Arts at Full Sail in Orlando, FL, and has written, performed, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered all of his own songs.  After completing his debut, “The Getaway EP”, he moved to Australia where he is currently living. 

          Often compared to the likes of Jack Johnson and John Mayer, JB Barnett creates music to inspire, motivate, and tap deep into the hearts of his audience.  Growing up in a musical family, he knows and appreciates the gift of music and he finds inspiration through his own life experiences. 
 
         At 15, JB started teaching himself how to play the guitar, then the bass, then the drums, and after a couple of years he focused on his voice.  His need for perfection has ultimately allowed him to create amazingly catchy songs, but has often slowed him down in the process.  Believing he was supposed to live the cookie cutter lifestyle, he got a 9 to 5 job after college, but it didn’t take him long to figure out that he was not cut out for the corporate world. It was clear to him that he had no option but to pursue his passion and that there should never be a “plan b”. Longing for a change of scenery, he decided to move to Australia where he would truly have to step out of his comfort zone and test his limits, which is reflected in the song “The Getaway”. 
         
          At this point, he has realized that a lot can happen in a year.  By truly putting himself out there he not only has met people from different walks of life, but he has grown to appreciate that we are only a product of our own life experiences as is evident in his song “What?” He strongly believes in each individual’s freedom to think for themselves and their ability to accomplish all dreams.  His humor and strong wit along with these ideals are combined with a compellingly groovy  tune on the track “Follow Me”. His soulful melodies and inspiring lyrics unveil a truth that connects the artist with the listeners. Currently available on iTunes, the songs off of “The Getaway EP” have been well received by his fans.
