John El-Jor

Hailing from his homeland of Richmond, Virginia, and Yachouch, Lebanon, you could say John had a very cultured upbringing. After leaving Virginia with plans to be a doctor, John took a drastic turn and followed his true passion of theatre and music, earning his BFA in Musical Theatre from Penn State. Since college, you might have seen John working alongside notable actors such as Tina Fey, Christopher Walken, Andre Braugher, Michele Pawk, Zoe Lister-Jones, and many more. Though his college experience was altered due to COVID, John took it upon himself to use that time to cultivate, harness, and further his other passions, such as songwriting and vocal pedagogy. To date, John has written and recorded multiple dozen songs, appeared in Mean Girls (2024), ELSBETH (CBS), The Outlaws (Prime Video), FBI: Most Wanted (CBS), American Idol (ABC), and worked in multiple Off-Broadway productions. Aside from his songwriting and acting, John studied MT Voice Pedagogy under the direction of Raymond Sage and Dr. Wendy LeBorgne, alongside the MFA candidates in the program, perfectly combining his love of science, with his love for art and creation!
