About Johnnie

Johnnie Burton is quickly carving a place for herself in an area few female artists have occupied. Born and raised on the east end of Hollywood, Johnnie’s musical style emerged amidst a dizzying web of rock, pop, punk and poetry. Johnnie’s crafted songwriting, signature voice, and arresting lyrics instantly caught the eye of producer Ralf Balzer (from gold record artists ‘The Flys’), who no sooner assembled an all star line-up to record her first self-titled album including Dave Philips on guitar (from Frank Black and the Catholics) and Brad Cook to
engineer and mix (The Foo Fighters and The Counting Crows).

Self released, Johnnie Burton’s first album, garnered rave indie press in the US and UK and received airplay on over 180 college radio stations across the US and Canada, earning Johnnie a spot performing at last years’ LA Warped Tour show at Dodger Stadium. Her sexy, driving performances captured in her indie video ‘Hello Lover’ have played in over 2000 retail stores across the US, including Footlocker. Still unsigned, Johnnie Burton’s music and video have attracted nearly 20,000 fans on Myspace.

A prolific songwriter, Johnnie Burton’s new release ‘Honey & Blood’ follows close on the heels of her first album adding producer Adam Moseley (Roxette, The Cure, and Nikka Costa) to her team along with guest performances by Nick Oliveri (from Queens of The Stone Age) and Danny McGough (from Social Distortion). Recently, multi-platinum producer, 3x Grammy winner Narada Michael Walden by chance walked in on Johnnie’s mastering session at Bernie Grundman. So impressed was Walden by Johnnie’s songs and voice that he offered to produce her on the spot.

Currently Johnnie is in the studio with Walden writing and recording tracks soon to be released. Urgent, honest, and in the moment, Johnnie Burton captures the feeling of a girl on the edge. With pure rock and roll energy and a ferocious band to back her, Johnnie fills a space desperately wanting in today’s music tide.
