John Pape is a songwriter and guitarist from El Cajon, California. He began playing the guitar during his high school years and started writing his own songs as a teenager. John ‘s faith came to be an integral part of his life during his 20’s and naturally found its way into his music.

I'm an independent artist who loves turning personal experiences into music. I recorded Since You Been Gone in my home studio—a song born from the pain and loneliness I felt after my breakup. Writing this song helped me process those emotions and find a sense of strength and hope. My goal is to create honest, relatable music that shows others they’re not alone in their struggles, and to turn heartbreak into something positive and empowering. This song means the world to me, and I’m excited to share it with you.
