George Johnson

George is a true professional rocksolid musician. Just listen to some of his original instrumentals and will hear a mean musical stew of Funk/Rock/R&B/Latin & more accented by thick slices of jazz.

His years of experience and commitment to variety speaks of itself. Geoge plays keys for his top Colorado Band (Mother Pearl Band) He's also a Pro Nas songwriter.
