About Me

Johnny Olivaj born in Laredo,Texas on December 16, 1979 grew up all his life in a small town called Encinal. Started out singing in a choir as a tenor for a year then went on to sing for three years for the Cotulla High School Mariachi De Oro in Cotulla,Texas. While still In high school at the age of 16 Johnny decided to start a Conjunto with some local musicians, called themselves "Los Criminales." Without no album, radio stations and local newspapers would take notice of them. Johnny also worked as an extra in the motion picture "Selena". Unfortunaltey the band broke up around 1999 due to thier job scheadule's. It wasn't until Oct 2003 that Johnny joined a Tejano Orquestral band in Laredo called "La Experiencia" as an accordionist. Radio interviews followed in Z93's show Serenata Nocturna with Luciano Duarte, and the song "Eres Casado" was being played in the airwaves. Later on Johnny decided to try something new and write songs and recorded an album. Recorded with great talented musicians such as Grammy award winner Chente Barrera, Max Baca (Texmaniacs), Robbie Esperza ( percussionist for Dj Kane), and Robert Ybarra (ex guitarist for Jay Perez). Johnny decided to join as a vocalist for new upcoming Conjunto/Tejano band AL Puro Golpe out of San Antonio,Texas.
