Meet Adaon Johnson

Adaon Johnson found music in the most natural place possible: at home. His mother had a soft, soulful voice, and she sang around the house constantly while cooking, cleaning, or just to calm the room. His mother Shimmer Johnson is also an artist / singer songwriter so music was always around. As a kid, he would wander over and sing with her, trying to match her tone even when he didn’t know the words. Those moments taught him how emotion sits inside a voice.

His father was the opposite quiet, but expressive through the piano, guitar and drums. In the evenings, he’d play simple melodies, and Adaon would crawl up beside him and press the keys, first randomly, then slowly learning how different notes felt together. His dad never pushed him; he just let him explore, and that curiosity turned into a real relationship with the instruments his father played.

Between his mother’s voice and his father’s instrumental genius, Adaon didn’t “decide” to be a musician he simply grew into it. Music became the language his family spoke, and eventually, the one he used to make sense of his own pain, healing, and identity.

Adaon Johnson’s sound sits in that emotional space between pop and alternative raw enough to feel honest, polished enough to stay stuck in your head. You can hear the influence of artists like Lewis Capaldi and Dean Lewis in the way he leans into powerful, aching vocals and storytelling that pulls straight from lived experience. But Adaon twists it into his own lane. His production blends atmospheric guitars, steady piano lines, and modern pop textures, giving his songs a haunting warmth. What sets him apart is how he delivers vulnerability without drama just real feelings, laid bare, the way the greats he grew up listening to taught him.

I have played in various events and venues, including music festivals, pubs, and cafes. I always put on a show that engages the audience and leaves them feeling entertained and inspired.
