(Los Angeles) – Vocalist, trumpeter, songwriter, and producer Johnny
Britt – Founder and Lead Singer of the former Motown Group “Impromp2” --
has signed with Guion Partners for Worldwide Representation as he prepares for
his debut solo album, “Feels So Good,” to be released early next year.
Johnny’s contemporary release, “Feels So Good,” is a collection of eleven
dynamic songs that brings a refreshing revival of old-school soul to the R&B
scene. The CD is a soulful journey that hearkens back to the heyday of
brilliant music with an updated groove, R&B, Jazz, Pop, Soul, and a little
bit of Reggae flavor.
Known for his uplifting and positive lyrics, Johnny’s debut as a solo artist
and his previous recordings on Motown Records with “IMPROMP2” are
recognized internationally.
With his new CD on the way, Johnny Britt has also taken his career into his
own hands and has engaged top management with Guion Partners, Inc. Based in
Los Angeles, Lindsay Guion handles a top-shelf roster of multi-talented
artists, including but not limited to Jaguar Wright ("Denials, Delusions and
Decisions," was named best album of the decade by the Associated Press) and
Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum recording artists Ginuwine, Mya and
D'Angelo.
"We at GPI are excited to work with Johnny. He has an energy and enthusiasm
about his music that is truly infectious," Guion said. "It's rare to find an
Artist with such innate musical talent and creativity in this digital age.
Johnny is about to embark on an incredible journey and we look forward to
joining him as partner, as he continues to grow in all aspects of his career."
Guion studied at Harvard University and professionally maintains active
membership in the Black Entertainment and Sports Lawyers Association.
Johnny Britt “is a rare combination of an outstanding singer, an excellent
trumpet player, a hit songwriter, a skilled arranger, an experienced music
producer, and a seasoned professional,” Guion said. “I knew that this was a
special project and a special Artist. I am convinced that this Artist and
this project will be widely accepted by the masses.”
According to Britt, the completion of the project “makes me feel really
relieved. This is like everything coming full circle. Those years with
IMPROMP2 were great and getting feedback from those fans is great. To have
total control of this album was really a blessing.”
Buzz has already generated around the first single, “Beautiful Queen,”
which combats more contemporary fare that some say denounces women in today’
s lyrics. Its forthcoming video was directed by actor/director Leon Robinson,
IV (“The Five Heartbeats”).
"I wrote the song “Beautiful Queen” simply because women are beautiful. No
matter what race, shape or size they are all beautiful and a gift to man from
God,” Britt said. “When I look at talk shows, the news, etc.; it's a shame
how some of these women are treated and it shouldn't be that way. They
shouldn't be called out of their names or be disrespected.”
Britt has received Gold and Platinum status with the Temptations and Boney
James. He has worked behind the scenes in the recording studio and live on
stage with some of the most prevalent artists in the industry including:
Quincy Jones, Josh Grobin, David Bowie, Jennifer Lopez, The Temptations,
Maxwell, Peabo Bryson, Luther Vandross and others.
The song “Contact” by Boney James, which Britt co-wrote, was a Number One
Billboard Hit.
Prestigious projects Britt has contributed musically to include the feature
films “Water For Elephants,” “Ides of March,” “The Lion King,” “Forest
Gump,” “Spiderman 3;” television movies “The Temptations Story,” “The
Little Richard Story” and television shows “American Idol,” in addition to
recently serving as the music producer for “America Sings.”
For three years Johnny, who is fluent in French, studied music just outside
of Paris, France at The Versailles Conservatory of Music where he studied
trumpet with the first trumpet player from the Paris Opera, Roger Delmette.
After his studies abroad, Johnny moved back to the U.S. and earned a music
scholarship from Governors State University where he obtained a B.A. in Music
and won the Gerald Myrow Award for Outstanding Composer.
