Johnny Boyd, Ron and Daniel talk about how an artist\'s body of work evolves over time, to what extent and the nuance around choices one makes on what to create, how, when and with whom. Johnny is a singer, songwriter, aka crooner, composer as well as a cocktailier, and deep-dish vintage 1940\\u2019s bellywarmer necktie collector, 9,700 pieces and counting.

He began singing and performing at the age of eight in the Phoenix Boys Choir and later signed as a major label recording artist. He has recorded dozens of original songs and has licensed many for use in motion pictures, television and gaming.

\\n

He is the former Indigo Swing frontman, known for his work ethic (at times 300-plus gigs a year worldwide) with the ability to move an audience from smiles to tears in one sitting. He has been long-acclaimed as one of the most versatile vocal performers of today, a songwriter of genius proportions, butter smooth with assured grace to every note, born to sing and with the vision of a renegade artist.\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

His music blends swing, jazz, pop, country, gospel, rock, torch, and jump blues into a stage show equal parts joy and musicianship, at some times nostalgic charisma, and at others, irreverent and dynamic.

\\n

Jazz Review said of him, \\u201c[He] touches on so many musical styles with amazing sincerity\\u2026a high plaintive tenor with excellent phrasing and a warm tremol.\\u201d Perhaps NPR summed him up best, "If Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash had a love child, it would be Johnny Boyd."\\xa0

\\n

Johnny believes in consistent, long term growth, in acting on what he values despite what others might want or demand of him, and in challenging himself with nuance and subtlety. As one periodical said of him\\u2026\\u201dlike Frank, Johnny does it his way.\\u201d
