About Michael A Johnson
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
When I was nine years old, my parents bought a tiny, electric "air" organ. I found an old play by colors keyboard manual for a different toy organ, and using crayons, colored my crappy little keyboard's keys and taught myself to play.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Procol Harum, A Salty Dog
The Beatles, The Beatles (The White Album)
The Rolling Stones, Beggars Banquet (2018 Remaster)
Three of my very first albums when very young. All are tremendous influences to this day. I never tire of listening to them. Gary Brooker and Nicky Hopkins are for me the very best piano players from the Classic Rock period.

“Monday Evening Thursday Night”
This tune is special for me because of the time it was written, just as I finished treatment for throat cancer, and the cancer was officially in remission. It is also the tune that has received the most engagement on social media.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
I'm a filmmaker by trade, in sem-retirement. Being able to use some of my music for music beds for commercials and corporate videos have been highlights.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
If I'm able to get more soundtrack work by sharing my music on Apple Music and elsewhere, then that will be more than just a bucket list goal, but altogether fantastic. I would also enjoy collaborating with like minded artists someday.
