“Ladies & Gentlemen, Johnny Napp!” It is these words that welcome the Williamsburg, VA native to the stage before every live music appearance. Yet, it is the energy and the roars of untamed anticipation from the crowd that breathe life into the entertainer and the artist that is Johnny Napp. Before embarking on a journey that would lead him to new evolving heights of professional greatness, Johnny immersed himself into becoming a basketball star.
While playing AAU basketball and excelling at Walsingham Academy and New Hampton School, Napp scratched and clawed his way towards achieving his dream. Through this preparation, Johnny earned a basketball scholarship to James Madison University, where he majored in accounting and marketing. During this time, Napp began tapping into his musical talents and started performing in the area to a growing wave of support. However, due to a violation of NCAA regulations involving the promotion of his musical career while playing basketball, Johnny lost his scholarship and decided to put his dream of becoming a basketball star on hold and move to Nashville to become a country music legend.
With Napp’s style of hard work and relentless determination, his journey took a sharp turn in a different direction, all while yielding tremendous results. His growing list of achievements include:
Opening For Today’s Hottest Stars In Country Music, such as Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Rodney Atkins, Craig Morgan, & Blake Shelton!
Headlined The Wildhorse Saloon & BB King’s (Nashville, TN), The Country Club (Augusta, GA), Longbranch Entertainment Complex (Raleigh, NC), etc!
Worked Alongside Some Of Nashville's Most Talented Producers and Songwriters, including Mike Lawler, who has played with the Allman Brothers, James Brown, and Steve Winwood and has written Patty Loveless's Lonely Too Long & Alex Harvey, who has written timeless classics, such as Delta Dawn & Reuben James.
Hosted & Performed For Numerous Charity Events Including:
A Live Television Show for "Tribute to America's Operation Freedom”
1,000 People Benefit Concert For The Bellevue YMCA's Healthy Kid's Day
Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Summer Camp in Gainesboro, TN
Christmas For Kids, Hendersonville, TN
Featured On Several Television Stations Across The Southeast, such as WBIR (Knoxville, TN), WDBJ (Roanoke, VA), and KATV (Little Rock, AR).
Napp-A-Holics around the nation have embraced Johnny’s soulful hits such as “Meat On Her Bones”, “Tell Somebody”, “Shake It Off”, and “Born In The Sticks”. Johnny Napp’s love for entertaining, fan appreciation, and fire for being a country music icon drive him further along in his journey. Some may say this is where the journey truly begins!
