Salt Lake City, Utah. – Jhonny K is a singer/songwriter who recently moved from Nashville, Tn., to Salt Lake City. One luxury that he had is the freedom to express himself in whatever form he chooses. This, after all is in our constitution. Musically, JhonnyK has met that goal, gracefully and with plenty of musical style. Being in Nashville gave him the opportunity to rub shoulders with the best in the business.

Jhonnyk started his musical skills by playing drums, then to trumpet. He started to study jazz and classical music with professionals. This enlightened him in as far as harmonies and the understanding of how music is created. He truly is a fan of many styles of music. He loves soul, jazz, hip hop. He also participated in whatever he could, vocally, from small to large choirs. He joined several groups as a back up acoustic guitar player and vocalist. He always, however, wanted to make a CD produced at a professional level. His first CD, ”Break Free”, is just that. It is a dream come true for him. This CD is a very upbeat, uplifting, soul searching, inspirational venture on his part. One particular single off this CD, ”Sometimes”, reflects how we are at different places in life and what we can do about it, sometimes, states Jhonnyk. It is an observation of social and spiritual life.

This new single, ”Sometimes”, has a great beat and a knockout rhythm. The change up in this one song is so smooth, you don’t miss a beat. Played with acoustic guitar, it draws you into the story line. Vocals are beautiful and perfectly suited for this style music. You just can’t help moving to his music. The harmonies are beautifully interjected in his songs and is representative of the stylings of Jhonnyk. Every song is beautifully written, recorded and performs.

Jhonnyk has played in front of 5000 people on a college level and concert. He played in Denver, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Idaho Falls and just about everywhere in the West.

At this time, he is in the process of trying to put together a tour around the West.

“I want to help others through my music, and I feel that I’m well equipped to do so.”

Andrew DeBarge was born September 28, 1989 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Before he could focus on anything else, music had captured him and revealed to him a gift of freedom. He began playing drums at age four. He didn’t have a drum set but he discovered that pots and pans, walls, or any surface handled the job just fine. He eventually progressed onto playing the piano and guitar during teen years, allowing his hands the dignity of being used for various musical creations. Andrew being a natural at all things he purposed to accomplish, also found himself to be a good dancer. Andrew realized at a young age that music brought about peace. It had an astonishing power of healing that could be used to change lives if held in the correct hands.

Andrew comes from a heritage of music. His mother, April, studied piano beginning at the age of seven and is also a singer and songwriter. His father, Thomas (Tommy) DeBarge was bass player for the pop groups Switch and DeBarge in the early eighties and is also a skilled singer and songwriter. Andrew’s uncles and aunt made up the legendary group DeBarge who laid a foundation of good, melodic, soulful music during that era. Andrew’s talent hints that he has the same capability. Former generations for both mother and father were also musicians.
