About Me

Jennifer Johns Innovative, driven, compassionate, and powerfulâ€¦just a few words that come to mind when attempting to describe Oakland, CA born singer, songwriter, and spoken word artist and emcee Jennifer Johns. Since birth, Jennifer has been making this world "just a little bit more melodic" with her some times boisterous, some times soft, but always powerful voice. If you were to ask her when she started singing she would say, "I don't remember a day that I didn't." However, her first experience on stage was at church at the tender age of 3 and she hasn't stopped since. Reflecting on her diverse musical influences as a youth, from Earth, Wind and Fire, Phoebe Snow, and Sade, to Paul Simon, Whitney Houston and Sweet Honey in the Rock, as well as the , West Indian rhythms that filled her home as a youngster. And then there was hip-hopâ€¦
