TJ Johnson is widely considered to be one of the UK’s most charismatic highly revered jazz and blues singers. He is also a hot piano player, drummer and a respected bandleader.

Always a true ambassador of the soul, TJ sings songs of love lost and gained, of life wholesome and corrupt, songs of hope and despair, songs of the night, all with the
true passion and boozy swagger of only a man who has been there and knows. Backed by his group of top london based musicians TJ plays an extraordinary blend of
music that transcends the boundaries of jazz, blues, soul, country and gospel and is influenced by some of the greats such as Ray Charles, Dr John, Louis Armstrong, Johnny
Cash, BB King, Nina Simone, Alberta Hunter, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Witherspoon and many more. His distinctive voice and unique personal stage manner always brings both the band and the audience together to create an intimate yet exciting atmosphere that is rarely equalled.

TJ and his band have toured extensively both in the UK and over sea’s for twenty years or more and now while still maintaining a high profile at international festivals and venues he is very involved in creating a vibrant new London music scene including his weekly speakeasy style club night in Hackney. TJ’s style and mix of music seems to be proving very popular with the young trendy in-crowd and older jazz and blues fans a like.
