Hello, I'm glad you found my page! My name is Clif Johnson and I've been playing piano/keyboards for 16+years. Since moving to Los Angeles 3 years ago, I've been able to play behind artists such as Tori Kelly, Leona Lewis, Juicy J, Jamie N Commons, JoJo and many others. Hopefully we can create some great music together!
My aim is to add the right Piano/Synth elements to your music to make it come alive. I can add a piano to your vocal, fill up your track with big synths, or add what we call in the musician world "colors" to your music.

Interview with Clif Johnson
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I want to see you happy and loving your music. It's such an emotional expression and I want you to be 100% happy with the finished work.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is accommodating what the artist hears in their head. Playing for different artists and genres have really helped me in that area.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I typically like to listen first and really catch the essence of the song. Once I feel like I have a general direction, I start to experiment with different sounds. I feel like when the right idea comes it all clicks.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mainly play live behind major and indie artists.
