Geoff Johnson is a Singer-Songwriter from Lincolnshire in the UK , he is presently living in Fremantle Western Australia.

He writes produces and sings all his own material .

I have been asked on more than one occasion ‘’ what is your style of music’’

Well, I’m not really sure I like been categorized, I like the freedom of writing music to suit my mood at that time. I do have a passion for good lyrics and tend to be a bit of a storyteller…

This sums Geoff up perfectley, he was born in Yorkshire, in the UK, his parents moved down from Murton just outside Durham, after spending all his young years in Yorkshire he eventually married they had two children they then decided to move to Lincolnshire.

Music came in and out of his life, as various friends were involved in the music business one way and another. He eventually started to really get involved with music when a close friend built his own recording studio, they started doing cover versions of mainly Bob Seger, Bruce Springstein etc.

The studio was never really successful but by this time Geoff had started penning his own songs, his very first ‘The Place’ even surprised himself, ‘’the reaper smiles and waves us by, the blind girl sees and starts to cry’’ it was around this time his marriage had failed and it was a while before he was able to put music to words.

Geoff eventually found someone new to share his life; they married and had a daughter, after a while they decided to try life in Australia, settling in Perth WA.

By now he had written quite a few songs and decided he had enough for his first album,’That’s Life’ the songs are mainly written around his own experiences, touching sometimes on quite personal subjects, ‘’I was never frightened to bare my soul’’ says Geoff.

He has since gone on to write two EP’s…

The Stranger, and Red Earth, he has also written two books, Poetyrically Speaking, and Animal Verse’atility, both on poetry.

He received an Honorable Critique Award from the songwriter’s society in October 2008 for...................

A Change in the Wind’ (a song he wrote about the problems coloured people have to endure) ''why is the colour of your skin such an issue''..... he has since gone on from strength to strength.

After going on a tour of South WA, and then across to South Australia he came back with enough material for a second CD, which he is just in the process of completing.’’ It’s a labor of love, as I like to produce mix and finalize my own work’’.

The best,Geoff
