We were lucky to catch up with John Boy recently and have shared our conversation below.

John, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

The song titled Wobble by artist VIC is the most meaningful project that I’ve worked on. I’m featured on the majority of the song, and it is truly amazing to see people around the world dance to the sound of my voice. I don’t feel as if i get the credit that I deserve, but when I get the opportunity to perform my parts of the song, it all speaks for itself. Thankfully the song is currently 4 /12 times platinum and fits in the wall perfectly with my other platinum and gold plaques.

John, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Johnathan “John Boy” Wright is a songwriter, musician, and emcee. His musical works include songs by “Soulja Boy”, “Ying Yang Twins”, “Mike Jones”, “Young Jeezy”, “Yung Joc”, “Hurricane Chris”, etc. and the smash hit Wobble by “V.I.C.” Recently, he set out on a journey to prove to the fans of Wobble record that he could write/produce another hit with a similar impact of the Wobble song, which lead to his follow up record titled Back Into It, which includes upcoming artist “Charm” and the iconic legendary rapper from Atlanta “Kilo Ali”. Ironically, this record has begun to follow the same “line dance” movement as the Wobble record. With the current success of the Back Into It song, and proper guidance of his manager “DJ Jelly”, “John Boy”, with the help of long term friends Koda Dixon (Platipus Jonez) and Geron Moore (Black), has developed a multiple piece brass-band to amplify his now huge movement begun with the success of both records, with the band being titled “John Boy & Surround Sound”! “Surround Sound” includes the full-bodied sound of beautiful, bright, brass, vibrating percussion, electric lead, powerful bass, the strong element of piano keys, to go along with the mind-blowing, hype, emceeing of “John Boy” and his vocalists. With the release of their first album titled Plug N’ Play, “John Boy and Surround Sound” have been compared to likes of “OutKast”, “James Brown”, “Cab Calloway”, and “Earth, Wind, and Fire” combined. Stay tuned for their upcoming sophomore album self-tiled Susonia. You definitely have to see and hear it to believe it!!!

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

I’ve heard of NFTs, but don’t have enough knowledge about them to comment just yet. Although I am intrigued!

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

Yes. Song credit is worth way more than work for hire. Artists want to know who wrote certain records. If your name is not attached to your work, it can throw a curve in your music career.
