The official Scatman John biography is HERE — read the incredible life story of a true legend (out Feb 5, 2026): https://www.bloomsbury.com/scatman-john-9798881807078 By adding jazz scat singing to infectious Euro-dance rhythms, Scatman John became one of the most unlikely pop stars of the '90s, if not all time. While he was unmistakably a novelty artist, few novelty artists had a more fascinating life story. John Larkin, born in California in 1942, stuttered since childhood. He started playing piano at the age of 12, and became interested in scat singing after hearing recordings by classic jazz artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and especially Louis Armstrong, his primary influence. He communicated artistically through his piano playing, and he became a professional jazz pianist during the 1970s. He performed at numerous clubs throughout Los Angeles, and his debut album, John Larkin, was released in 1986. After moving to Berlin in 1990, he began singing for the first time, and his performances of jazz standards began receiving standing ovations. Manfred Zähringer, owner of Danish label Iceberg Records, caught one of Larkin's performances, and came up with the idea of him scatting over modern dance-pop. Larkin was hesitant at first, but after some encouragement from his wife and Zähringer, he wrote "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)," a highly energetic, catchy song about how he overcame stuttering. Released in late 1994, the song became a worldwide smash the following year.
