Johnny Burgos is a singer, songwriter, producer and engineer born and bred in Brooklyn, New York.

With influences from Michael Jackson, OutKast, J Dilla, Lauryn Hill and D'Angelo, Johnny's music draws upon the core principles of R&B, while encompassing elements of Hip Hop, Funk, Pop, Salsa and Reggae.

As an artist and producer, Johnny has collaborated with DJ Skizz, for Hip Hop luminaries such as Mobb Deep and M.O.P., Marco Polo, Frans Mernick, Liza Colby (The Gold Setting), Spencer Ludwig, Travis Mendes and led the band Bridge City Hustle, with whom he toured nationally.
