Details:
Dejie Johnson has performed for audiences of two to 25,000. She has sung with orchestras, big bands, conga-driven retro bands, jazz trios, and solo piano. She has appeared on stage, television, films, and in 3-D. Her hands have been featured on national TV and she has lent her versatile voice to animated characters such as Judy Jetson and Josie of the Pussycats.

In Atlanta in the late '70's and early '80's, Dejie entertained audiences at several popular Atlanta venues, including Showcase Cabaret, Tyrones, Gene & Gabes, and The Menagerie. Later, she spent a decade in NYC performing at Don't Tell Mama's, The Ballroom, and she was one-half of an acapella bop duo, The New ABC's.

Dejie also played an autistic mining camp prostitute in Shot Through the Heart, a Broadway show that closed on the road. She was the only female to perform in The Plaids before it officially became Forever Plaid.

Since returning to Atlanta, Dejie has performed at local venues including Libby's Cabaret, The Red Chair, MJQ, and The Star Bar. She recently played the role of Fraulein Schneider in Decatur's Neighborhood Playhouse hit musical production of "Cabaret." Her voice can also be heard on several Turner Entertainment television channels.

The inspiration for Dejie's first solo CD, "What Try to Change Me Now?" was a suitcase full of music that she inherited from her late uncle, a professional pianist who worked in Hollywood in the 1940s.
