Stanley Johnson, Worship Director/College Professor/Recording Artist

"I am a deemed singer/songwriter with a powerful message of hope, encouragement, and purpose that pierces the hearts of believers and non-believers alike. My debut album "Beyond Me" was the winner of the 2012 Gospel Blue Mic Achievement Award for Album of The Year and 2016 Video of The Year for “Trading Chains.”

A Lansing, MI native, I am no novice to the industry. I started performing at a very young age, which led to traveling the world ministering. I am the father of 8 year old Jaiden Johnson, and 5 year old Ashlynn Johnson.
