artist Angela Johnson

After delivering nearly two decades of honest music, Angela Johnson has  nothing left to prove. A newly liberated Johnson returns ready to party.  Culling the funky sounds of that twilight period between the end of  disco and the height of the funk era, Johnson’s production rediscovers  the rhythmic grooves, propulsive basslines, and memorable chords that  once poured from live instruments instead of technology. Johnson gifts  her listeners with that rare music her fans can both step to and be  moved by, the kind once commonplace “On The Radio.” With It’s Personal,  Angela tears down the final wall between her perfected image for the  stage and the real-life woman who works hard and sometimes stumbles in  her effort to keep it sexy for her husband, be a shining example for her  daughter, maintain the esteem of her industry, and deliver the kind of  music and performances that contributes something real in the lives of  her fans. No more illusion, just Angie. Born for music, Johnson enrolled  in SUNY Purchase to further study violin. At SUNY, she met her future  Cooly’s hot-box bandmates and songwriting partner, Christian Urich.  Together the eclectic soul and acid jazz band landed a deal with  Polygram Records that ended almost before it begun. In addition to her  strong family upbringing, the secret weapon that has allowed Johnson to  keep so many balls afloat over the last 17 years is her marriage to her  manager and Purpose Music co-founder Russell Johnson. The dynamic duo  has demonstrated the anti-thesis of every stereotype about Black love,  Black family, and the legendary horror stories surrounding female  artists with managing husbands. Angela’s comic sensibilities are  complemented by Russell’s straight man stability & orderly business  savvy.      For more info: http://www.indiereviewcd.com https://twitter.com/IndieRevue https://www.instagram.com/indie.review
