“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” ― Victor Hugo
Music has always been a respite for artists to express their deep-seated emotions that have often resonated with their audiences. This is where a song’s success lies. It talks about emotions and pain, which immortalizes it in people’s hearts for generations to come. Music artist, singer, songwriter, and music producer Johnny Yukon is focused on creating timeless music that will enthrall the audience for centuries to come. He is a new-age artist with a distinct style who plays with raw emotions in story-telling techniques. This is how he manages to reach his audience on a personal level and connect with their emotions better.
Born in Pennsylvania, Johnny Yukon was always drawn to music, especially lyrics. With time, his interest in music grew, culminating in making him a brilliant songwriter. He naturally became a master of head-nodding rhymes and fits of cathartic falsetto. Although his creativity was often brought to life by another voice in some studio, his lyrics created a distinct charm that was unique to Johnny.
In his previous career as a songwriter, Johnny worked with some of the music industry’s most prominent names, including Young Thug, Ty Dolla $ign, Camila Cabello, and Leon Bridges. His career reached its peak during the pandemic as he got the opportunity to co-write some top-charting tracks, like Internet Money’s multi-platinum mega-smash “Lemonade” and Skepta & Pop Smoke’s F9 soundtrack “Lane Switcha'' to name a few. Johnny also co-produced “Trauma” from PARTYNEXTDOOR’s album Partymobile, which soon was listed in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200.
He had been a prolific songwriter until 2018, when he decided to venture into the mainstream music industry as a recording artist with his debut album, Installation I. The raw appeal of the album soon got the audience hooked and left them craving for more. Johnny Yukon has always been a man to experiment, and he can never stick to one style or form. After his initial success as a singer, Johnny is back in 2021 with his debut Elektra record Flight Plan 001.
Flight Plan 001 is a cross-genre album that wonderfully blends contemporary hip-hop with pop undertones to create a familiar yet cutting-edge sound. Johnny has laid his heart bare in this album, with all the emotions he felt after the abrupt end of his relationship. The terrible feeling of isolation and his hope to find true love have echoed in the record’s lyrics. The unconventional music, together with the blazing lyrics, has created a sonic architecture. Johnny is optimistic that Flight Plan 001 will bring in a fresh wave of music to enthrall his fans.
He has recently released a new track, “Mystery,” this month along with a trailer for Flight Plan 001. The track has already made it to the top 25 on the SoundCloud Pop chart and is climbing higher every day. The trailer reflects Johnny’s love for aviation and also displays the gamut of his creativity as an artist. It is scheduled to be released on Soundcloud, just like all of Johnny’s previous tracks.
He is hoping to present more futuristic music to his audience, carving a niche for himself in the music industry. He wants to touch hearts with his creativity and travel the world to personally interact with his fans. Although his journey so far has been challenging, he has enjoyed every bit of it.
