Producer Johan Lenox Enhances Chamber Music With Pop and Nostalgia

Published: Nov. 30, 2023, 5 p.m.

Johan Lenox has one of the more unusual resumes in the music world. He\u2019s probably best known as a producer, working with hip hop stars like Travis Scott and Big Sean. But he\u2019s also a singer, pianist, and a composer of contemporary classical music. He\u2019ll produce uncategorizable work with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Reid, write music for the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, and cover a Nirvana song, all as part of his omnivorous musical diet. Lenox\u2019s 2023 release is called\xa0Johan's Childhood Chamber Nostalgia Album, which leans toward\xa0ambient music with an unfocused childlike spirit. Johan Lenox\xa0and a small chamber music trio play in-studio.\xa0
