Johnny K and Kompany - Band Members
Johnny K
Johnny K has been involved in music from a very young age. He is a self-taught singer – however if you asked him he would tell you that Johnny Mathis taught him how to sing. Johnny K’s parents would listen to a Johnny Mathis 8-track tape every day and Johnny K started to imitate the great singer. It’s no surprise that Johnny K started his singing career by imitating Johnny Mathis in clubs and casinos around Arizona including Casino Arizona, Matazal Casino, and the Globe Casino.
Johnny has also starred in shows with: JD’s Legendary Stars, Stars on 45, The Rags Allen Trio and DJ’s Old School Stars – perfecting the standards and great music of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Johnny brings all this experience to his current role as lead singer of Johnny K and Kompany.
Johnny would personally like to invite you to come hear Johnny K and Kompany. You will have a grand experience of yester-year with a touch of simplicity and timelessness of the standards and music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
