He is passionate about country music.
John follows a Neo-Traditional approach to music, taking inspiration from musicians like George Strait, Keith Whitley, and Merle Haggard.
Foster has shared the stage with many musicians, including Doug Stone, Ryan Foret, and John Schneider.
Foster got his first guitar at the age of 15 in July 2021, but did not start learning to play until a month later. His uncle, Gaylen Martin, later introduced him to the chords of John Denver’s song ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads.’
Although John never took formal music lessons, he gradually picked up the instruments and refined his skills.
In December 2022, John lost two close friends, Maggie Dun and Caroline Gill. This experience brought him even closer to music, giving him a deeper purpose and a way to cope through expression.
