Blank Canvas: A Conversation with Johnny
I like Johnny. You should too.
Johnny is our DJ for the day at Blank Canvas!
Here is our exchange:
Thanks for being a part of Blank Canvas, Johnny! How’s life been so far?
Heyoo, thanks for inviting me! Super keen to be part of this~
Phineas & Ferb revamp just got announced so life’s pre good 🙏
So, tell us a bit about yourself?
Just a student who loves dance, music and food ☺️
I’m curious about your journey as a DJ. When did you decide that you wanted to do this?
Always wanted to DJ for a dance battle so I got into battle DJing at the end of last year.
Been loving it since.
What’s something that you are proud of?
Recently I got the chance to play for an event that I didn’t think I’d get so early into DJing.
Put a lot of effort into it and was happy with how it came to life.
Where do you find inspiration from?
Honestly, just the people who’ve shared and taught me.
Without them I would never be where I’m at and I’m always learning more from them.
What is the hardest part of what you do? Do you think you are hard on yourself?
I can be pretty hard on myself at times. But that’s only cause I want to provide the best for who I’m playing for.
But yeah I do get in my head a lot before gigs even begin.
If I'm burnt out, I usually just eat and sleep until I’m back on my feet.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Send it.
Please tell us your life goal!
Be a jacked teddy bear husband and dad and also open a food truck sometime in the future (No idea what I wanna sell yet but it’s gonna happen😋)
What can we expect from you at the Blank Canvas event?
I’m probably going to play the Lady x Eshay remix at some point 🙄
