Jay Johnson
Jay Johnson is an award-winning musician and songwriter who moved to London before his teenage years and began making music from a young age. Jay’s naturally curious mind led him to start learning the cello. He then taught himself how to play the guitar a few years after.
Jay started listening to artists such as Bob Dylan, Paolo Nutini, and Ben Howard from his early teens, as a result, their influences can be seen in his original works. Jay’s most recent music features the styles of the early hiphop artists whom he was exposed to at an even younger age.
Acoustic folk music with intricate finger-picking and dark lyrics.
