What an extraordinary path John McDermott has been on.

In the 1960s, as a young immigrant from Scotland, he embarked with his family to Toronto and from these humble beginnings his path led him to St. Michael's Choir School.

As a young talented singer, he recorded twelve songs as a heartfelt gift for his parents' 50th anniversary, a decision that would lead to his breakout 1992 album “Danny Boy”.

John's journey as an artist boasts 30 full recordings, platinum sales certifications and numerous Juno award nominations.

His remarkable odyssey has even granted him an audience with five U.S. presidents.

Beyond personal triumphs, McDermott's altruism shines.

Honored with the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor Society's Bob Hope award and a Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation, he has also dedicated himself to raising $3.6 million to revitalize the K-Wing Veterans Centre at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital.

He continues to be musically active with recent recorded output including the artful As The Sky Gives The Ocean (2022), a re-imagined limited edition vinyl LP of Danny Boy (2023), and the upcoming original album full of interesting collaborations entitled Scrapbook (late 2024).

McDermott continues to share all the chapters in his beautifully woven life.
