Since he was a child, John enjoyed arts and crafts.  Eventually, after finishing school, John came to Harare to learn from his older brother Jonathan.  While studying at college Hotel and Restaurant management, he spent his spare time at Utonga Studio in New Tafara with his brothers Luckson, Daniel, and Alfred.  By 2000, he joined the Dominic Benhura studio as an apprentice to his brother Jonathan. He later apprenticed with Alfred and through Alfred?s encouragement and technical expertise, John began to express himself and use his imagination within his own works.  By 2003, John exhibited with his talented family at Alliance Francaise at Zimbabwean German Society.
