John & Narelle Canaan - Private event


John Canaan is a one-of-a-kind performer and relationship trainer whose voice and insight have touched lives around the world. He began writing music about relationships as a college student at BYU, and even then, his gift for connection was evident—so much so that ex-girlfriends would come to him for advice.

His musical journey led him to record “What If I Loved You?”, which became a #1 hit in Utah and Idaho in the early 1980s. He also recorded Michael McLean’s “You’re Not Alone,” which was sent out to millions, internationally, on the “Bounce Back” tape by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You might also recognize his voice on the Together Forever video, Come Unto Him & Let Him Heal Your Heart.

Over the years, John’s performance résumé has included warm-up concerts for artists like Kenny Loggins, TV and radio interviews, performing on cruise ships worldwide, and presenting relationship workshops & conferences around the country.

His wife Narelle is originally from Australia. She is a passionate life coach who loves assisting people in breaking free from limiting beliefs and supporting them in creating the lives they want to live. She’s a loving dedicated Mother & Grandmother. John and Narelle live in Daybreak, Utah, with their blended family of ten children.

John Canaan has an incredible voice! More importantly, he has the ability to hold an audience in the palm of his hand. His approach is warm and witty and his commentary will tie his performance together in a way that leaves everyone energized and uplifted. He makes you laugh with his insights and anecdotes, then brings you to tears with his unique musical gift. I recently hired John to perform for a church dinner. I have never been more impressed with a performance and can wholeheartedly endorse him as a world class entertainer.”

Dear John and Narelle, There are no words to express the outstanding and memorable event you two created for our Woman’s Conference. Countless women said to me that it was the Best Women’s Conference they had ever attended! No doubt this memory will be a life-changer for some of the women who are struggling at the present time. I could not have imagined the strength and power you provided – you WOWED these women of all ages!”

As a mental health professional…. I have been exposed to countless hours of training in literally hundreds of presentations by speakers at all different levels. Few have been as successful at reaching the audience as John Canaan.
