Neoteric soul. A sound that is uncommonly defined by the radical message in ones lyrics which inspires the heart of the listener. But for Sean C. Johnson, it’s just another form of sharing his testimony. At first glance, one might not envision this former Air Force Staff Sergeant as a soul singer – no afro blowing in the wind and no “tortured genius” look. He does, however, have his own unique vibe – an unsuspecting and compassionate demeanor that produces a sound that draws you in. Sean offers music that lyrically takes the listener deep into the Word, flowing hypnotically over neoteric soul ballads and hip hop beats.

Sean’s musical influences begin with Quartet legends like The Dixie Hummingbirds, The Fairfield Four, and The Canton Spirituals. Growing up in a family of singers (Mother was a music teacher) Sean spent Sunday dinners singing along to The Winans, The Clark Sisters, and Sam Cooke. As his musical palette expanded he begin to gravitate to soul-inspired artists such as D'Angelo, The Roots, John Legend, and Anthony Hamilton. Falling in love with the essence of these sounds, Sean melded these genres to form his own brand of neoteric soul music.
