Biography
"Singer/songwriter Johnny Nicholson reflects a deep and diverse talent. Unafraid to venture into new territory, he's lived in California, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Europe. Nicholson's motley of adventurous explorations in geography is paralleled with his musical styles. He can play it all, from pop folk, to reggae, to smooth lullabies, to rock."
Picking up the violin at age five and the guitar at age seven, he has been writing, recording, and performing for the better part of his life. Johnny also plays Accordion, Mandolin, and Banjo.
Johnny founded Monkey Rock in 2006. Monkey Rock is a community comprised of artists and friends who support each other by promoting and performing as a group. Monkey Rock hosts a weekly songwriter's circle at All Asia (332 Mass. Ave, Cambridge, MA) from 6-9pm on Wednesdays where members and friends of the Monkey Rock, Berklee, and Greater Boston communities come to listen and play.
"Ultimately, Nicholson is an artist you would take with you to celebrate, to ponder, and to live. While his sound is predominantly smooth and calming, Nicholson also produces music to match the many moods of life. Easy to relate to, the singer/songwriter seamlessly tells snippets of his autobiography..." (Lauren Proctor, Northeast Indie In Tune)
Johnny is now at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Together with a network of artists from all over the world, he continues to write, record, and perform.
