About Livinghost

 

Livinghost is more than music.
It’s survival… it’s adaptation… it’s continuing forward when life changes everything.

I’m John Douglas Pritchard, a musician, writer, and creator who has spent a lifetime chasing sound, emotion, and meaning through music.

In 2010, everything shifted.

I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease, along with severe tinnitus.
The constant ringing, the unpredictable vertigo… it made performing live impossible.
A part of my identity, standing on stage, playing in front of people was suddenly taken away.

That loss was real.
And it forced me to ask a question we all face at some point:

Now what?

I didn’t stop.
I adapted.

​

Livinghost was born out of that moment not as a replacement, but as a continuation.

​

The Sound of Adapting

 

Today, I create music from my home studio.

What I once needed a full band for, I now build piece by piece 
guitar in hand, layering sound, shaping songs from the ground up.

With the help of AI, I can now create drums and bass, allowing me to collaborate with vocalists from around the world.
What could have been an ending became a new way of creating, one without limits, borders, or boundaries.

Livinghost isn’t tied to one place or one lineup.
It’s a living, evolving project, just like life itself.

​

The Message Behind the Music

 

If there’s one thing my journey has taught me, it’s this:

You don’t have to do this alone.

Life throws things at all of us,  loss, change, setbacks we never saw coming.
Some are visible. Some are silent battles no one else can hear… like tinnitus ringing in the background of everything.

But we keep going.
We find new ways.
We rebuild.

​

That same message runs through my books, my music, and everything I create.

​

Why Your Support Matters

 

Every stream, every download, every purchase, it all matters.

Supporting my music isn’t just about buying a song.
It’s helping me continue to create, to write, to record… and to keep sharing something meaningful with the world.

It’s helping turn limitation into possibility.

This is not the end of the story.
It’s just a different way of telling it.
