Lynn Johnson was born in Sunnyvalle, California in 1971. From an early age, her affection for music was evident. By the age of seven, she was performing for audiences in homes and churches. In her adolescence, with the styles of the big-haired twisted sister rock scene, playing church hymns and sweet folk music was not exactly how the hip/cool style high schoolers were spending their days.

Mike Johnson was raised in Africa from the age of two until the age of eight. Since returning to the United States, in 1978, he has witnessed a bizarre and painful disparity between the two lands. In America, we are maternally wealthy, however spiritually bankrupt. In Africa, most people are financially fraid, but rich in spirit. Through the music, it is his hope that he may expose to you an exclusive treasure beyond the dreams of Kings, redeemable in every nano second of time and in every particle of space, no buzz, no static and subscriptions free. His lyrical style incorporates basic icons in pairs such as the sun and moon, silver and gold, mint and jade etc...to establish a slate upon which to convey the message of song. The use of colors, perceptions of a child, subconcious architypes and the human experience attempt to reunite each of us in a universal kindred spirit of hope.
Bass
