John Batchan was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. While he showed an interest in the performing arts at a young age, it wasn't until he was 15 years old (after being cut from the basketball team tryouts) that he'd audition for his first musical. After performing in the Ensemble of Guys & Dolls at Westview High School, John was bit by the theatre bug and began to perform around the valley of Arizona. |

While John continues to strive for professional work in music theatre, he does not stray away from other performing art opportunities. His dance background has landed him several dance performances around the valley for Drag Queen pageants, Music Videos, and Concerts. He created ASU’s newest dance club, “MT Dance Prep”, where he served as the President and taught his peers an array of dance styles through music theatre. Additionally, his efforts staying within the loop of the film community has allowed him to receive several roles on film.
