Singer/songwriter currently based in Czech republic. Creative soul who loves writing songs that have a meaning. Current situation has impacted all the gigs and events I was supposed to be involved in. I added a Bandcamp link where you can purchase all three released singles or place a preorder to the debut EP that I managed to finish before all this arrived. Thank you so much!

Spirit Power: The Best of Johnny Marr out now
https://johnnymarr.lnk.to/SpiritPoweryv

Johnny Marr started his career with The Smiths, beginning an amazing history as one of the most influential songwriters and guitarists in British independent music. His subsequent creative journey has seen him at the heart of The The, Electronic, Modest Mouse and The Cribs, as well as working with The Pretenders, Talking Heads, The Avalanches, and the musician and composer Hans Zimmer - with whom he recorded the score and soundtrack for the most recent James Bond film, No Time To Die, including the title track created with Billie Eilish.
 
Over the course of the last decade, Marr’s solo career has given rise to four UK Top Ten albums - The Messenger (2013), Playland (2014), Call The Comet (2018), Fever Dreams Pts 1-4 (2022), and soon a career-spanning book, Marr’s Guitars. The full measure of this extraordinarily fertile period is captured on his latest offering, Spirit Power: The Best Of Johnny Marr, a major new collection curated by Marr encompassing songs from his first 10 years as a solo artist, a scattering of stand-alone singles and two incendiary new cuts, Somewhere and The Answer. 
 
Spirit Power presents a composite portrait of an artist with no less a complete ideology than the celebrated co-travellers who inspired him along the way. It’s a body of work that mirrors Marr’s unquenchable life force, breadth of musicality, and above all, his love of melody.
