That Ain’t Country
Born in Wilmington, N.C., Johnny had a tough childhood growing up without his dad around, but the struggle gave him a burning desire to make it. When he was 12, he promised his mom that he’d someday be famous enough to buy her a house. “I’m still fighting with everything in me to do just that,” declares Johnny, whose ambition has led to high-profile slots opening for stars including Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson and Phil Vassar.
