Biography

Shaun Terrance Johnson, an American singer-songwriter, seemed destined for a life of music from the very beginning. "One of my earliest memories," he says, "is of performing at state fair talent shows with my little sister. We'd sing Sonny and Cher songs a cappella when neither of us was quite tall enough to reach the microphone."

Originally from the small town of Saint Joseph Iowa, Shaun attended Saint John's University before settling in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where he began his career with the
nationally-known vocal group, Tonic Sol-fa. In 2006, they were featured in Newsweek and on the Today Show and in 2007 could be seen across America on public television.

Shaun's career pursuits have extended to business speaking, design and writing; his compositions have been an
integral part of over 1,000,000 independently sold albums.

He is also involved in philanthropic activities with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

The Story Behind Joseph's Song

The idea for Joseph's Song arose from a conversation with a close friend, blessed with his first child in the Christmas season. He pondered aloud about the lack of Christmas songs relating to fathers and, upon hearing this, I imagined what it would be like to be a dad; in particular, what it would be like to be Joseph holding his newborn baby Jesus on that first Christmas night. I drove home immediately and this
lullaby was the result.
