It seems to have been written in the proverbial stars that Johnny Cooper would dedicate his life to performing and entertaining crowds.  Since birth, Cooper has been immersed in music of all kinds, and encouraged to pursue his dream.  He started performing music in February 2004 at the age of 15 and turning 24 in September 2012, he will have chalked up almost 9 years of professional touring.

Johnny Cooper has accomplished more than many musicians twice his age.  Having recorded two critically-acclaimed, full-length studio albums (and another in the works) and not one, but two live albums under his belt – the total album sales of which have eclipsed 50,000 – Johnny Cooper’s career trajectory cannot be stopped.  He recently had two songs included on the soundtrack for the independent movie, “Deep in the Heart,” which also includes tracks from Charlie Daniels, Larry Gatlin, Wade Bowen, and others.

Gifted with a rich emotive voice that illuminates his lyrics, Cooper says that each album “is another chapter of my life, every song is a short snippet of all the things I have encountered over the years, good times... bad times... and everything in between.  I believe the music has evolved because I have evolved... the older you get, the less and less you are scared to try new things, branch out and test your limits.”

 

“Johnny’s simply electric!  This kid is the real deal… he’s the next big thing!!!”

– Donnie Nelson/President of Basketball Operations/Dallas Mavericks

“Don’t you just love it when you have high expectations for someone and they actually meet them?  With all the buzz I’d been hearing about artist Johnny Cooper, I thought for sure at least a little of it must have been the LA hype machine at work.  Not so.  This 21-year-old’s performance at the Key Club’s Plush Lounge proved why his unique blend of rock, soul, and funk is worth talking about.”  – by Kristin Houser, LA Music Blog
