Johnny Britt, formerly of Impromp2, has a new single due on 10 Feb 2023 in time for
Valentine's Day. It's a collaboration with the 'Prince of Sophisticated Soul', Will Downing, titled "Butterflies".
Britt's musical journey began in Cleveland, OH, when he picked up the
trumpet aged 12. He is a classically-trained Jazz trumpet player
studying at the prestigious Conservatoire de Versailles in Paris and has
become a Grammy nominated composer writing for, and collaborating with,
many smooth jazz artists (he has written three #1 hits for Boney
James).
Upon completing his studies in Paris, Johnny returned to the US and
continued his studies in Chicago where he met Otis Williams who hired
him as the youngest ever musical director for The Temptations which led
him to be the co-music producer for the Emmy-winning miniseries "The
Temptations".
He later moved to L.A. and formed Impromp2 with Sean
Thomas in 1993 who signed to with Motown's MoJazz label in 1995
releasing four albums which blended hip hop, soul and jazz after which
he decided to go it alone. As a solo artist he has, to date, released
four albums between 2012-20.
Footnote: Sadly today Will Downing announced on his Instagram account
the death of his daughter (with his first wife Ronni) Aron Siobhan. Our
deepest condolences.
