About

John Perinbam is a Scottish-born Canadian recording artist, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist best known as the founder and lead vocalist of Canadian heavy metal legends Ivory Knight.

John's music encompasses and incorporates influences from various styles including pop, rock, hard rock, progressive, and heavy metal.

"John has a great powerful voice which fits the music like a glove and he switches seamlessly between clean and melodic vocals to a harsh and rough vocal persona. John’s solo debut is filled to the brim with great powerful, yet quite catchy metal." - Janne Stark, Stark Music Reviews

John plays several instruments including bass guitar, keyboards, piano, guitar, and drums.

He is currently working on new original material as well as collaborating with Ivory Knight colleague Rob Gravelle on various cover songs. Once the pandemic restrictions are lifted, John looks forward to continuing his work as frontman of Ivory Knight and Ottawa's Enforcer!
