John William Oates was born in 1948 in New York City. Long before John rose to prominence as one half of the hit duo Hall & Oates, he grew up in an Italian American household in a suburb outside of Philadelphia, where he began writing his own music in the mid-60’s. Oates met Daryl Hall while the two men were at Temple University, and after performing together with a number of other bands, they decided to try their luck as a duo.
Hall & Oates signed with Atlantic Records in 1972, and went on to become one of the most iconic groups of the 70’s and 80’s, with hit after hit, many of which Oates co-wrote. Notable singles include “Adult Education,” “Maneater,” “I Can’t Go for That,” “You Make My Dreams,” “Out of Touch,” and “She’s Gone.” After Hall & Oates stopped recording together, Oates went on to record and release his own solo album, Phunk Shui, in 2002. Additional albums followed, including: 1000 Miles of Life (2008), Mississippi Mile (2011), and Good Road to Follow (2013.)
John Oates published his memoir, Change of Seasons, in 2017. The book shares his story of growing up in a small Pennsylvania town through his rise to prominence with Hall & Oates, and the personal and professional challenges he faced along the way. As one half of the Hall & Oates duo, John Oates’s career boasts more than sixty million records sold and nearly thirty top forty hit singles. Today, John Oates continues to perform and record. He recently released his latest solo album, Arkansas, in 2018.
