TOP JOHNNY! IS AN ALL ORIGINAL HIGH INTENSITY PARTY BAND WHOSE IMMENSE SOUND IS FORGED FROM A WALL OF HOUSE BEATS, TECHNO-SYNTHS, CATCHY VOCAL HOOKS AND SEARING GUITAR RIFFS. If you took KISS, C&C Music Factory, Metallica and Public Enemy and put them all in a blender, TOP JOHNNY! is what you’d get!
TOP JOHNNY!'s goal is simple: Give the people what they want! - Music to make them move, words to make them feel and a live show that leaves them breathless.....a TOP JOHNNY! show is not to be missed! We believe that people want outstanding entertainment value for their hard-earned coin. So when they go out to a concert they don't want to see a band that looks like a bunch of cardboard cut-outs standing in one spot all night. People want to be enthralled, invigorated and somehow transformed by the experience - and that's exactly what TOP JOHNNY! strives for." says TJ Star. "Our collaborators come from different musical backgrounds and styles. Heavy Metal, R&B, Alt Rock, Musical Theatre, Punk and even World Music. I like to keep the musical chemistry fresh and alive!"
Fans all over the world are discovering TOP JOHNNY!'s signature sound and praising the band for their originality with many saying "Finally! Something different!". Comments like "Your music takes my breath away!" and "TOP JOHNNY! bridges Metal and commercial Pop but with Metallica-like solos" continues to encourage the band to push forward on their rise to global fame. Even Alannah Myles described TOP JOHNNY!'s music as "Fantastic, rocking, fun, powerfully sung and produced! Great work!!"
Stay tuned! With their 7 song EP "Kick It!" already out the band's 1st full-length, pile drivin' rock-your-socks-off album is slated for release this spring.
Not only is TOP JOHNNY! committed to (as TJ Star says in his song "H.I.P.") "shake the foundation!" and "rock the nation!", the band is also committed to making a difference by initiating lasting changes for our planet's environmental & humanitarian challenges. As such, the TOP JOHNNY! band is a proud supporter of the PLANET ALERT! FOUNDATION, a non-profit organization set up to distribute 10 percent of TOP JOHNNY!s gross concert ticket, CD and merchandise sales revenues to local and globally recognized projects having the best chance of achieving lasting solutions to our planet's ecological and humanitarian problems.
TOP JOHNNY! is the brainchild of triple-threat (composer, performer and co-producer) TJ Star and his long time collaborator and co-producer Mr. Positive(+) and is produced by StarBrite Productions, Montreal, Canada.
