Louis Vann Johnson

Artists

Louis Vann Johnson is a multi-instrumentalist and south London singer songwriter.

Louis Vann Johnson is a creator of ‘mixed music’ with sounds that blend R&B, soul and jazz. With a strong nod to the pop world, his music is equal parts groovy and sensual. Coming from a highly musical family, from a young age his influences have included Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Craig David, and George Benson.

As a multi-instrumentalist and a producer, Vann Johnson has performed on and written many film soundtracks. He says that his ideas flow freely, emerging from a single chord, melody or word. Lyrically, he describes he describes his works as “tender, recognising the vulnerabilities of love, loss and self-awareness – complex themes that I approach with optimism and positivity.”

2022

In 2022 the Louis Vann Johnson Sound System provided the music for Day two of the Small Island Vibes public event, as part of Tilting the Mirror, an intergenerational project funded by Creative Civic Change using arts and creativity to help people make changes in their communities.
