Vocal Powerhouse

Datrian Johnson

Datrian’s natural talent and powerful spirit will stop you in your tracks. He was singing in church from his earliest days and by the time he was 12, Datrian found himself featured on BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel. One of the most in demand vocalists in North Carolina and beyond, the past few years brought Johnson on stage singing lead for North Mississippi Allstars, The Word and now Funk You. He’s been writing and recording at length with Luther Dickinson and John Medeski, who he also collaborates with on Saint Disruption which brought him together with Warren Haynes for a remake of “Imagine” and he’s sat in and stole the show with heavyweights like Steve Kimock, Oteil Burbridge, Vernon Reid, DJ Logic and Brian Jackson. Johnson also just launched his own project Datrian Johnson & The Family Tree which will be touring in the later part of 2024. Johnson is currently recording his debut album.
