DJONTHEARTIST was born Derrick Charles Johnson on August 20 1985, in New Orleans, LA. When he was a child, Johnson’s family moved all around as his

After graduating from high school in 2004, he began cultivating his vocals and musical artistry. However, in August of that year, Hurricane Katrina hit and wreaked havoc on the region. Amidst the chaos, Johnson’s home was badly flooded, prompting him to set aside his musical ambitions and take some time to find out who he was. Johnson moved to Memphis, TN to continue his recording projects, intending to stay only a short while. However, as he continued to make meaningful contacts within the music industry, he decided to extend his stay. To make money during this time, He took a job as a personal assistant. Eventually, he got a songwriting deal and began collaborating with singers and songwriters in the greater Memphis area.
