The indie powerhouse has been taking the country music world by storm since the release of his critically-acclaimed album GOTTA BE ME last June. In less than a year, Johnson has earned a #1 album on the iTunes Country album chart, a #2 album on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart, garnered over 135 million streams and acquired nearly a quarter of a million new social media followers. He also managed to earn a Rolling Stone nod for having one of the “Top 40 Country Album of 2016,” made his national daytime television debut on the HARRY show and his Grand Ole Opry debut to an audience who responded with a roaring standing ovation.
“The
public gets their own perception of you, with fame. I love my family. I
believe in God, believe in working hard and not backing down. You gotta
stand up for what you believe in, without it being ‘cool.’ That’s who I
am”. “I
use my music in the only way I can, to affect people in the the only
way I know how. I’m a simple man who believes in simple things.”
