Johnny Van Zant, the younger brother of the late Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Ronnie Van Zant, has carved his own path in the music industry. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Johnny's passion for music began at a young age. After the tragic plane crash that took the lives of his brother and several other Skynyrd members in 1977, Johnny stepped up to lead the reformed band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, in 1987. With his powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence, he has kept the legacy of the legendary Southern rock band alive for decades.
