The Next Big Thing: Matt Johnson

posted in: Features

The term “prodigy” should never be taken lightly but it can easily be applied to Matt Johnson.  At only 13-years-old, his songwriting ability and musicianship demonstrate why he is worthy of the label. With catchy riffs and smooth vocals, Johnson shows skills far beyond his age group. To further his career, his mother home schooled him for 5 months, giving him additional time to write music. Johnson even has an intricate Web site, sure to catch the attention of soon-to-be fans. The hard work has payed off. He’s already performed with acts such as the Jonas Brothers and Radio Disney’s Haley O and you’ll likely see him coming to a town near you soon.

Take a listen to this pop-sensation-in-the-making below, especially since there’s a good likelihood you’ll be hearing more of him!
