Johnny Huynh

After an adolescence spent immersing himself in and interpreting songs for the lovelorn, singer/songwriter Johnny Huynh records his own emotional originals to inspire swaths of listeners, from his debut single, “The One That Was Meant for Me,” to major-label fare including “GOOD AS YOU,” “LEFT OF ME,” and a unique cover of the Leonard Cohen standard “Hallelujah.”Huynh was born in 2003 and grew up in the city of Bothell, Washington, part of the Seattle metro area. Music was never far away growing up: he and his brothers all enjoyed piano lessons and would sing in talent shows at school. Johnny soon put his own spin on his musical education, becoming a self-proclaimed “band geek” who proved to be a steady hand in classical recitals and jazz ensembles alike, proving his mettle as both a pianist and a guitarist.After putting music to the side to focus on a mechanical engineering degree at the University of Washington, Huynh found himself turning back to music to get through a break-up, and started posting a handful of vocal-and-guitar R&B songs on Instagram and other social media apps. (Huynh had a taste for the dramatic even then, recording in parking garages late at night, where his voice -- clear, with just a pinch of grit on the higher notes -- would reverberate hauntingly through the concrete structures.) A cover of d4vd's 2022 hit “Romantic Homicide” proved to be a runaway success, drawing thousands, then millions of fans toward his singing prowess. Emboldened, he started uploading original songs, including the self-released singles “The One That Was Meant for Me” (2023) and “Cheater” (2024), and found that audiences were just as excited to hear them.But the most unexpected attention came from Columbia Records, which offered Huynh a contract that he signed while finishing up his degree (and a grueling internship at SpaceX). From the spring to the fall of 2024, an EP’s worth of originals was released, including “GOOD AS YOU,” “LEFT OF ME,” and “MISS YOU TONIGHT.” By year’s end, he added his take on Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah” (made considerably famous by another Columbia upstart named Jeff Buckley in 1994). While Huynh's version was far shorter than most, it grabbed attention for its plaintive, layered vocal harmonies -- a unique departure from myriad covers of the tune over the years.
