REVIEWS “I have been to a lot of shows, and have seen a lot of up-and-coming musicians perform. It is rare that a group wows you the way Johnny Voltik does, at first listen. As soon as the group stepped on stage, their energy took over the room. Even though the crowd didn't know the words to their songs, every head was nodding and at the end of their set, when Johnny asked if we wanted more, the only answer anyone could consider, was yes. Blending elements of rock, electro, hip-hop and reggae, Johnny Voltik's influences are present but don't overwhelm. They really "feel" their music and it is this sincerity that the crowd feeds off. Their sound is fresh and days after seeing their show, I'm still excited about them.In addition to being a music lover, I'm a freelance music writer and cannot emphasize the number of shows I've been to that underwhelm. Johnny Voltik however, is really in-tune with the crowd and knows how to take you where they want you to go. It's refreshing to experience a show where the musicians are still into what they do and for that alone, I would go out and see them again.” ERIKA PARKINS -- Freelance Music Journalist who has written for Trace, Essence and BlackBook Other Achievements: 2011 British Arrow Awards, Nominated for best original music. 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Music featured in ‘Out of Darkness’ short film 2011 Tribecca Film festival feature ‘Typecast’ soundtrack score 2010 Tribecca Film festival feature ‘Ghetto Talks’ soundtrack score Alternative Hip-Hop/Rock/Pop Artist Listen, Download, Buy Exclusive Tracks like DO YOU, HIGHER'ER here today - http://www.reverbnation.com/johnnyvoltik
