Despite being only 31 years old, J.D. Fortune has already experienced enough for a lifetime's worth of song lyrics. From fronting a rock band to joining the Army, performing before stadium crowds to living in his car, even making a living as an Elvis impersonator, J.D. has lived a real-life roller-coaster ride that may be about to reach its highest peak yet.

Raised in the Canadian countryside just outside of Nova Scotia, J.D. grew up listening to his grandfather sing and started performing at a very young age. He even dropped out of high school after being offered a job on a TV show.

After several years in and out of the music world, J.D. finally began to strike gold as an original musician. A captivating dynamo who performs on the edge, J.D. has drawn bigger and bigger audiences, ultimately performing at the Friendship Festival and at Toronto's Skydome in front of tens of thousands of people. He also works as an entertainer and pop songwriter for an Ontario TV show.

Now, J.D. is primed to bring his life experience and musical talent to the world. A strict vegetarian and martial arts instructor, J.D. believes he has the discipline and the chops to become the new lead singer for INXS, a band of which he has always been a die-hard fan.
