Shimmer Johnson Multi-Genre Artist

We caught up with a indie artist by the name of SHIMMER JOHNSON... How long have you been doing music? I have been doing music all my life. I started writing songs at the age of 21 when I met my co - writer Corey Johnson. I call myself a “multigenre artist.” I love to sing and write pop, rock and country music. I have been releasing music since 2017 with over 500K streams on Spotify. I am starting to slowly get interest from college radio and media base stations. What was the name of your first single? My first single I ever released was, “IN A BOX” back in 2011. Country Pop Crossover single. The first song I ever wrote was called, “WAITING” and I plan to re-do this song and release in 2022. What got you into the music industry? Music is all I have ever wanted to do all my life. My father used to sing in a country band and as a family we used to sing together and record on the weekends. I think entertaining has always been in my blood.
