2018 release. "Open your heart," Emily Johnson sings on her debut EP of the same name. To her, this statement is more than words; it is a way of life. On this release of original songs, she creates her art with something beyond passion, giving herself to her audience with a great generosity, energy, and sincerity. Emily brings others together to ignore prejudices, erase borders, and overcome difficulties. She shares with them a simple pleasure which is to sing! Emily has been fortunate to work with some music industry greats, including the incredible guitarist John McLaughlin has consistently praised her as an artist he already considers "a star." Another is the world famous, Grammy Award-winning American producer Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin), who graciously opened the doors of his Tarpan Studios to produce Open Your Heart.
