This really feels like a classic American rock song I could hear playing on the radio when there's fireworks on the 4th of July.

This Freedom Isn't Free

ALEX VAN TRUE VOCALS

Underscored by aggressive rock riffs and edgy lyrics, “This Freedom Isn’t Free” reminds us of our forefathers brave actions and the belief that freedom is not a gift

“I think your tone is one of the most beautiful and catchy tones I have ever heard and listened to. The rhythm is nicely well arranged along your tone and the mix and mastering sounds perfect and lovely! The song is really cool and lovely in any aspect! I forgot lyrics! They are so lovely and interesting with their suitable rhymes! The chorus was perfect. Looking forward to hearing more from you in the future.”

As an emerging artist, James Lee Johnston offers a fresh and compelling sound that deserves a place on streaming platforms, social media, and radio. ”

A lover longs to reconnect her soul mate out in the universe and prays for the Winter Moon to show her the way...

Winter Moon

James Lee Johnston

“Winter Moon” is about hope. Hope with all its beauty and fragility. Hope with all its doubts and imperfections. Hope with its circular nature whereby hope is born from hope itself.
