As a member of Actors' Equity Association, he has also performed a variety of musical theater roles ranging from Jim in Big River to Father/God in Children of Eden. Favorite musical theater roles include Joe (Show Boat), Bill Sykes, Miles Gloriosus, Sweeney Todd and Audrey II. His concert repertoire includes most of the major baritone works such as Carmina Burana, Elijah, Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death, the Verdi Requiem, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the Brahms Requiem and the Fauré Requiem.
Born and raised in Warren, Ohio, Mr. Johnson received his bachelor's degree from the University of Akron and also studied abroad at the New Opera Academy of Rome in Rome, Italy, and the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria.
