Veronica Johnny is a Cree- Métis, 2-spirit, multi-disciplinary artist, entrepreneur and educator, from Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, in Treaty 8 Territory. She presently divides her time between Toronto and Northern Ontario, Canada.
Johnny's solo performances are an eclectic blend of Indigenous hand drumming, acoustic guitar and hard rock music. [1] In addition to performing, Johnny is also an engineer, event organizer, and producer. Johnny also facilitates workshops in music-business development, marketing, bios/press kits, songwriting, hand drumming, Indigenous culture and art projects. [2] [3]
Already an experienced workshop facilitator, in 2015 Johnny founded IndigenEd [4], an Indigenous arts education business focused on creating understanding, and developing approaches for improved wellness. IndigenEd offers in-person and virtual events, workshops, speeches, and art and culture-focused activities.
Johnny is also a Cree language student and advocate and has worked on several Cree-language projects including producing an all-Cree song called "Nisakihtan Kiya Kisoskatowin [5]" released through a project with the NWT Metis Nation.
Established in 2002, The Johnnys are a hard rock band led by co-founders Veronica Johnny (vocals, management) and Dave Johnny (drums), the group's songwriters and only constant members. [6]
Though inspired mainly by '70s rock, The Johnnys' irreverence, punkish edge and Indigenous-influenced lyrics distance them from both classic and contemporary rock scenes. [7]
Known for their fun, energetic performances, the band's four multi-award nominated, all-original, self-produced records have launched several charting singles. [8]
The Johnnys have performed in the U.S. and across Canada, been featured on TV and film, and shared stages with musicians including Geordie Johnson, Bif Naked, Stevie Salas, Keith Secola and Crystal Shawanda. [9]
