Johnny was born in Tallahassee, FL, and was influenced by his long time idol, Cannonball Aderly, who lived in the same community, and inspired him to become an A&M graduate. Johnny earned a musical scholarship to Florida A&M where he served double-duty as a dedicated student and club musician which helped shape him into a highly regarded musician in Miami and New York alike. An artist of integrity; skill; personality and honesty, he is held in high regard by some as the next Grover Washington, Jr. of our time.
