Music Career Biography/ Overview Guitarist/songwriter/producer Lori (Halley) Johnson has been recording since her early teens, performing in folk bands in the early years during her life. In early 1970's she 'almost' was accepted by MCA as a songwriter. Being that she wanted to be the singer of her songs recorded, she passed up the songwriting opportunities for great artists such as The Carpenters and even wrote music to Rod McKuen's poetry. However, Lori had a minor stroke in 1990 and it set her songwriting and performing aside while recovering. Karaoke was the only method that helped in the recovery process, recommended by her Nurse friend, Gayle Harris. After 75 original songs later, and collaborating with others, in 1994, Lori had her first TV appearance, featured on a news clip for her original songs No Courts For Courtney and Sing Me A Lullaby. In 1994 she held a fundraiser and recorded 3 songs from John Denver's song collection (by permission) to bring awareness to an unjust Family Law Court situation of her best friend Cathy Thomas. During that same year, she also wrote lyrics to a musical tune by Adrian Scott (Originally written for his Japanese friend, Seiichi Ito and his beautiful first daughter, Leya. The musical piece was called Song For Leya). HOLIDAY THANKS! song was born. Lori searched the Copyright office for information regarding the same. Three long years later, she discovered through Roland Music that Adrian lived in Australia. Since the Copyright office only searched the United States, it took three LONG years before Lori located Adrian (who was one of the original founders of Air Supply). Soon after he was located, they partnered together to create HOLIDAY THANKS! from across the world. (CD and CD-Graphics) Also, CaliforniaKids Healthcare Foundation was a charity that received benefits from Lori's musical performances for charity. Today, Lori and her husband, Art, enjoy residing in Redondo Beach, California where Art is an Award Winning Glass Artist as well as winning Singing Contests. Together, this talented duo enjoy performing duets, harmonizing during special events and during their quality Karaoke Shows.
