	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Jon McLaughlin, born September 27, 1982, Anderson, Indiana, US, is an American piano-playing pop/rock singer.

McLaughlin's debut album Indiana was released on May 1, 2007, preceded by his first EP Industry, also known as Jon McL, in February, 2007. In 2008, McLaughlin returns with "Beating My Heart", the song is a part of his new album is called OK Now.

Playing piano since early childhood, McLaughlin didn't want to take piano lessons anymore and was always finding ways to get out of doing so. While attending Highland High School, he shattered both wrists in an accident that interrupted his musical expression.

Rediscovering "his muse," McLaughlin attended Anderson University to study music. He released an independent album entitled, "Up Until Now" in 2003. This quickly led to McLaughlin becoming the first artist to sign on with the school's burgeoning, if not local, record label, Orangehaus Records. The self-titled album released in 2004 to local and regional praise.

Since signing with Island Records in 2007, McLaughlin increased his public image by providing music for the NBC comedy Scrubs, episode "My Conventional Wisdom" . McLaughlin's song, "Human" was included in the episode. The same song appeared at the end of the episode "The Walk-In" of Ghost Whisperer. "Beautiful Disaster" can also be heard in the hit TV series "A Little Thing Called Life".

McLaughlin's songs have also been featured in movies such as "Georgia Rule", "Enchanted," and "Bridge to Terabithia."
