Gahtdamnjohnny Perspective on Lights Out
What's the deal family my name is Johnny, I go by Gahtdamnjohnny. I'm an upcoming artist and producer born and raised in West LA. I went to Hamilton high school, use to perform at the infamous World on wheels all thanks to my good friend DJ dizz, but not too long after that in 2013 I moved to Las Vegas where I dove into production a lot more. 2020 I moved back home to LA and quickly realized I wanted to get into music as an artist again but a lot more serious than before. Worked on this EP for about a year and a half before finally releasing it in April 2024. This is my first professional project and I'm more than happy to share my experience and journey within the music to my audience. I hope you all enjoy.
My background has been nothing less of a blessing and withing the journey of finding myself as an artist I was able to develop a sound that I personally love.
My first time I fell in love with music was when my big brother SPthesoulprophet showed me how to make beats when I was 10 years old on a software called hip hop Ejay. I remember almost having a panic attack at school because I wanted to make beats so bad and could not focus until I went home and did music. That's when I knew I fell in love with something deeper than I could understand.
I decided to become an artist when I was around 19 or 20 years old. I started performing at World on wheels and many pool and block parties in the neighborhood again thanks to DJ Dizz who would always promote my music and get my name out there. Songs like "I don't need you" and "oh yup" had my fan base moving! They knew me as Johnnyboiifresh from freshlyne ent.
This Genre is hip hop for sure. With a mix of melodic tones and cadence.
My sound back in the day was more aggressive and heavily influenced by the jerk era and west coast artist in general.
Now and days I go for the club sound and fast tempo. Something people can dance to and enjoy.
If I could tour with any artist right now it would be Kalan frfr or Travis Scott.
my favorite artist today is and will always be Young Dolph. The only way I can describe his music is he was the most transparent artist I ever heard coming from where he came from and his beat selection was insane! Nobody had his style of rapping and engagement all while saying things that could save your life and or make you think about life in a different perspective.
My music will always make you dance because that's what I love to do.
Young Dolph. Because he's incredible straight up.
Lights out has to be my favorite song and was actually the last song I made on my EP. It gives me a club feel between The Dream "I love your girl" and T-Pain "can't believe it". Those songs for me are 1 of 1. The feeling can't be replicated but I was definitely inspired by both of those artist while making this track.
Young Dolph, Lil Wayne, Future
no explanation.
My dream performance would be me coming out after my streams hit 2 million and the whole crowd knows my songs.
I would love to collaborate with suga free and DJ quik
Most likely in the strip club.
I want them to be care free when they are listening to my music. Just have fun.
Energetic, fun and funny
I share my music through Spotify and Apple Music.
I'm always shootin in the gym when it comes to this music. You can never be too good to practice. Just when you thought you found a certain pocket or sound, practicing will have you discovering things about yourself as an artist you never knew before.
I was on Timberland's twitch after I had submitted my beats as a producer and he gave me and my work the biggest praise as he freestyled and separated me from the other producers. Attention was what they collectively agreed on that I had as they listened to all 3 tracks.
You measure success by the amount of fun you have in the process.
when it's no longer fun you are no longer successful.
The energy behind the music will change the way the audience receives it.
