WARREN B. JOHNSON SR.
Warren Johnson, born and raised in Wheeler County,
Georgia, started singing at a very young age in his church's
choir. He decided to pursue a musical career and got his first
professional job singing on a show called South Georgia Jamboree
while still in high school.
After high school, he did a stint in the U.S. Army and, while
stationed in Hawaii, met four other musicians and formed a group
called “The Pirates”.
After a few years of traveling, he returned to Hawaii where he
formed a country group called “The Gator Creek Band”
and has performed throughout the state.
In 1988, he recorded his first solo album called “Time
and Time” on M.D.L. Records. His album got good reviews
in some of the top Country Music magazines, and airplay
throughout the United States and here in the Hawaiian Islands.
He recorded a second album called “Beyond These
Shores” with the Gator Creek Band.
Warren is a versatile entertainer and has been the opening act
for some of the top Country singers in the country, such as
Crystal Gale, Larry Boone, Brooks and Dunn, and has appeared in
many of the local music scene concerts. He also appeared on local
television.
In addition to being a top vocalist, Warren writes most of his
own material for his recordings.
His new album, “Island Fever”, was
inspired from living and performing in the Hawaiian Islands for
the past 25 years. He is a member of the Laie community where he
and his wife Auhea raised four children. “Island
Fever” is on the Moonsurfer label, produced by
Gordon Broad.
