Johnny Smathers is an emerging artist whose sound seamlessly blends elements of indie rock with the raw emotion of folk and the catchy hooks of modern pop music. Hailing from a small town that's as enigmatic and eclectic as his tracks, Johnny has managed to craft a unique musical fingerprint which resonates with the poignant subtleties of everyday life. After picking up his first guitar as a teenager, Johnny has embarked on a musical journey that has been nothing short of a roller coaster, replete with the ups and downs that have shaped his songwriting prowess.

His most recent releases depict a range of introspection and revelry, with singles like "I Was Just Joking for the Most Part" showcasing his flair for self-deprecating humor wrapped in melodic storytelling, a song so nice he titled it twice, one for each facet of his complex artistic persona. "Bottomless Mimosa" and "Late Nite" delve into the carefree and sometimes reckless spirit of youth, while "Lil Bit" and "Yr Own Supply" offer a glimpse into the delicate balance of dependency and self-sufficiency. The rawness in "Thx 4 Leaving" pulls at the heartstrings, painting a painful but honest picture of gratitude in the face of loss, contrasted by the nonchalant attitude in "No Biggie." Finally, "LOOSIE" is a testament to Johnny's ability to craft infectious tunes that manage to feel both spontaneous and carefully constructed. As his fan base grows, so does the anticipation for his next move in the ever-evolving landscape of music.
