Johnson - Push the Feeling On (Biography) (Update 21-11-05)
Johnson,
born in Huddersfield - England -, concluded his pre
scientific education (VWO), where after he did a series of fashion
shows. He accidentally was discovered as a (self-made) singer
through which the combination singer/fashion shows came into
existence. In 1996 he was asked for the act "The Foetsies"
that made the number 3 position on the Dutch Charts.
As a result of this half an hour lasting show Johnson was now able
to add 'dance' to his CV as well. Various shows and tours
followed, among which:
The
Gordon Gospel Tour (NCRV), The Theme song for Foster Parents Plan,
Endemol International Backing, The Anita Meyer
Millennium Tour, a Leading part in the Theaterconcert "The
Jazz Age", Backing Zucchero (in Barend en Van Dorp),
backing/guitar for Ricky Martin (TMF Awards), the
Final in The National Song contest (TROS AHOY Rotterdam), Backing
Lionel Ritchie (TROS 40 Years), Backing/guitar for
Phil Collins (The TV show) and Backing/guitar for
Mariah Carrey (National Lottery Show).
Meanwhile Johnson developed into a songwriter, provided for the
choreography and organisation of Blue Denim (a six person sing/dance
formation of the Jeans Foundation) and the choreography for
Kim-Lian (Video Teenage Superstar) and Armin van
Buuren ft. Perpetuous Dreamer (U.S. tour). Moreover, this
'centipede' produces shows/concepts for a.o.: Ford, L'Oreal, ABN/AMRO,
Pearl, O'Neill, Hugo Boss, SBS Belgium, White Villa Records, Esprit
and Lee Jeans, Mercury Records with its agency
Concert Building Events.
To
White Villa this enormous talent is well known, since Johnson
contributed several times to various Music Videos. At the same
time his singing talent didn't go unnoticed, resulting in a
co-operation with the producing duet John Marks and Roy Gates
and his first single: "Push the Feeling
On".
This
super hot remake of the great Night Crawlers’ hit of the 90's did
lead many a dance chart during the past period! The track was, with
68,6%, made in "Make it or Crush it" (”Maak
’t of Kraak ‘t”)
and was on the
playlist
of Slam FM, on
32
in the
Slam 40
and on 69 in the Top 100 !!
