PAIGE KING JOHNSON

Hailing from North Carolina, country singer-songwriter Paige King Johnson has
supported such acts as Scotty McCreery, Neal McCoy, Luke Pell, and James Otto,
besides being a three-time Carolina Music Awards winner in the category of “Best
Country Female Artist.” Her current single, off her EP “Big Girl World,” titled “Water Down
the Whiskey” is rising on the charts and receiving a lot of industry attention. According
to Johnson, the song “channels the sensitivity of Kacey Musgraves while dishing out the
unapologetic nerve of Miranda Lambert.” In 2019, she completed a fall radio tour and
has launched an official music video for the single.

Johnson shared her thoughts on how this pandemic has impacted her career, “As an
entertainer, we never want to try to envision how we would have to change the way
we interact with our fans in a pandemic case like what we're currently experiencing
all around the world. With the presence of COVID-19, all artists like myself have been
experiencing some uncomfortable changes to our normal way of working. We've
cancelled shows, lost income, and declined merchandise and CD sales. The most
impactful change for me has been the loss of interaction with new fans and old friends
out on the road.”

Johnson continues, “For me, playing shows and meeting fans afterwards is the most
enjoyable and fulfilling part of my job. Without that aspect, I find myself feeling a little
isolated. But I'm very grateful for the internet and modern-day technology to create
living room concerts and listening room atmospheres through things like Facebook LIVE
and Instagram LIVE. I've been able to connect with fans all over the world and share
some new music on multiple online shows. It truly has been the only thing to help create
some normalcy and keep me sane during these trying and uncertain times!”
