Lebron Johnson
A new face of Black Music in Italy and beyond
A new face of Black Music in Italy, LeBron Johnson, a singer with a powerful and refined voice at the same time, a warm and persuasive tone. Originally from Nigeria, born in 1998, he arrived in Italy in 2017. He immediately began attending the Evangelical Church of Ravenna, singing and playing Gospel in the choir. LeBron was initially inspired by Black music, from Soul to Funk with R&B influences, arranging famous songs as he pleased, and then truly began his journey as a composer.
The band was formed in 2021 with Andrea Pititto, aka Andy Pitt, guitarist and creator of the project, Alberto Pavesi on Drums, Paolo Mazzardi on Hammond Organ + Leslie 122 and Davide Medicina on Bass. The project starts from the contamination of Funk/Soul and Blues, with a vein of “independent music”: from this fusion comes a modern sound, an intense sound, full of groove and feeling with original songs and some covers of great Bigs, such as Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Nina Simone and today’s artists like Tom Misch and Black Pumas
On 13 October 2023 the band releases its first LP, entitled «ANONYMOUS», under the artistic production of Riccardo Rinaldi aka Ohm Guru (Neffa, Sud Sound System, Colle Der Fomento).
