LANN JOHNSON


Innovative songwriter/vocalist, Orlandria Johnson, also known as LANN, is continuing to earn a reputation as one of the most talented and versatile songwriters of today.

LANN’s soaring melodies, intricate arrangements, chord structures and harmonies are combined with a diverse influence that cast a memorable and lasintg spell upon her listeners.  Her songs come alive with her ability to craft creative lyrics portraying experiences and emotions we all can relate to.

Word of LANN’s talent spread in Atlanta and in 2007, LANN was introduced to Craig King (Ray Charles, Mary J. Blige, Quincy Jones, etc.).  King commissioned LANN to write for aspiring young artists such as Asia Bryant, Jess Godwin, and also established artists such as Ludacris and Kanye West. 

LANN then teamed up with multiple Grammy award winning mixing engineer, Phil Tan (Mariah Carey, Usher, Rihanna, Toni Braxton, etc.) and went on to work at DARP Studios -Atlanta, owned by Dallas Austin (Madonna, Michael Jackson, TLC, etc.) Relishing the opportunities before her, LANN continued working at DARP Studios and Doppler Studios, penning lyrics with artist such as rapper Cassidy, Chili of TLC, Keisha Cole and collaborating alongside super producers, Focus (Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez) and J-rock.

While working on projects at DARP, LANN met her soon to be business partner, Dutch music producer, GUUS.   After a year of successful studio sessions together, LANN and GUUS realized they shared the same vision and direction for their music and together they formed JINJA Music Productions.

In a short space of two years, JINJA had taken up a residency at Soapbox Studios in Atlanta and had written and produced for many aspiring artists.  Their song titled “Ready to Rock” was also picked up by Disney for their worldwide Tamagotchi toy launch which was a huge success.
