Jay Johnson is an English singer-songwriter. He moved to Clapham, London before his teens. Johnson’s naturally curious mind led him to start learning the cello from the age of 8. He then began playing the guitar at the age of 13. Jay started listening to singer-songwriter artists such as Bob Dylan, Paolo Nutini, and Ben Howard from his early teens, and as a result their influences can often be seen in his original works. Jay began writing his own original songs by the age of 15, started busking on the streets of London a year later, and has been playing gigs and open mics at pubs since he turned 17. A few months after Jay started playing to live crowds in various venues, he decided to leave his previous career plans of becoming a doctor behind, and decided to become a full-time singer-songwriter and musician. Jay is currently working on an EP at Abbey Road Studios.
