Johnny Young Brooklyn, NY USA - Rock

-- Rock and Roll The Way It Was Intended

Supporting their second CD "Drone," this dynamic three-piece New York City-based band is garnering new fans and radio play at an unstoppable rate.

Blind since age seventeen, band leader, Johnny cut his teeth on a world tour with former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor as the singer and keyboardist in The Mick Taylor band. Since then, he has bruised his legs and his forehead on numerous stages across the North American continent and around the world, performing, recording and producing various projects from New York to Tokyo. Johnny's production credits include: Elliot Randall (Steeley Dan), Whodini, Norma Jean Wright (Chic), Karl Wilcox (Diamondhead), Kool Moe Dee, Steve Thornton (Miles Davis). He also co-produced with Sydney Mills from Steel Pulse, Liggett and Barbosa from Shannon, and Allan Schwartzberg, the drummer for Peter Gabriel, Roger Daltry, and Brian Ferry.

Johnny's own projects have included charting on CMJ with "Dark Black Past" and, the first single from Drone, "Rain" was a Southern regional break out on commercial radio.  Johnny Young is now promoting their new single "If I,"  which will be hitting the airwaves in a few weeks.

Today, Johnny works day and night creating music in his studio laboratory located above a neighborhood bar in Brooklyn. A modern day 'frenzied Mozart' who's forever working on something: showcasing the band's newest materials around town (including memorable shows at CMJ 2000 & 2001), and always tending his bubbling brew, this 'wizard in the mill' has taken his latest concoction, entitled Drone, on the road and will be embarking on the band's 4th national tour to SXSW in March 2001.
