James Lee Johnston has been writing poetry and now, lyrics for over forty years.  His writing influencers travel across time from the classical works of Shakespeare to the storytelling of a multitude of contemporaries highlighted by Bernie Taupin and Sting.  He favors the usage of sound devices such as alliteration and rhyme to bring out the musical quality of his writing.

He has combined the art of classic storytelling with heavenly vocals, expert composition, and stunning music to give the listener an elegant and complete musical experience. Emphasis is placed on the depth of the emotion and lyrical meaning of the songs which comment on the hidden undercurrents of life, love, and relationships always with the quiet hope of connection and healing.
