Artist Info
Johnny
Brooklyn based Alternative R&B artist & producer, JOHNNY grew up in a small town in MA. Johnny has always been flirting the line between behind the scenes and in front of the camera while also balancing a tri-city life (Boston, NYC, & LA). In 2015 he released a solo album, "See You Soon" under the guise of his real name, John Whoriskey Jr via Soulspazm Records and his own label Bright EYED Music.
After the release, he got back in the studio focusing on producing and rebranding with more of a Pop/Future R&B sound. His debut single as JOHNNY titled, "Right Now" was released in 2017, and gained immediate critical acclaim. In 2018 came the self-released EP, "Nothing is Forever" followed by "Summer Break," a two song EP and a Short Film music video for the first track "E.S.T." (Co-directed & edited by Johnny). In 2019 he released his "Fairfax + Melrose," EP which he tells sort of a summer-of-love type story about living in Los Angeles.
Margie Mays
MARGIE MAYS is a singer, songwriter, performer, and host based in Los Angeles, CA.
She left her hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, to attend Stanford University, where she studied Human Biology and Communication, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 2015. Unable to resist her love for performing any longer, she moved to Los Angeles to study Vocal Performance at the Los Angeles College of Music. She graduated with honors from LACM in early 2018.
Margie’s most recent and proudest endeavor was competing on Season 2 of American Idol on ABC, where she became a fan favorite amongst her competitors and finished in the Top 40. For Margie, the experience was nothing short of a dream come true. She even got to return for the American Idol Finale to perform “This Is How We Do It” with Montell Jordan, as well as roles on a couple Idol commercials that landed premiere spots during the Oscars.
In fact, she loved the experience so much… she competed again on Season 3 of American Idol on ABC. Her journey can be seen on Hulu, and Netflix outside of the U.S.
Margie is available for all opportunities musical. She also teaches voice and piano lessons, and is always happy to take on more students. She is passionate about encouraging young singers and performers to not only cultivate their skills, but to believe in themselves and their dreams.
Her latest career endeavors include entertainment journalism and hosting. She is currently self-producing The Margie Mays Show, where she interviews fellow American Idol alums about their experiences on and off the Idol stage. You can keep up with the latest episodes on her YouTube channel! You can also catch her on Hollywire TV for the latest pop culture news updates.
Off the stage, Margie can be found guzzling coffee while dancing in her kitchen to musical theatre soundtracks (always on a mission to improve her dance skills, which still… need some work).

Their breakout single “Classic” reached #8 on the Billboard Top 40 chart, earned a double platinum plaque from the RIAA, saw them perform on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Good Morning America, and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and turned them into a worldwide sensation. The duo has amassed nearly 2 billion streams and been featured on New Music Friday, A-List Pop, New Music Daily, and more.
