Maisie Johnson is a London-born singer songwriter whose primary influences include Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Taylor Swift. First starting to write songs aged 12 and perform aged 14, she began her career in partnership with her sister, Alice - with whom she released her first original music in 2016. After going solo and joining forces with percussionist and longtime friend, Sam Thyr, her followup EP peaked at #3 on the UK iTunes Country chart on the day of its release. She has been a regular on the London music scene since 2016 and has also performed in Toronto and Nashville.
After completing her A levels, and while completing a foundation year at a London music school, Maisie collaborated with producer Charlie Deakin Davies (Gary Barlow, Laura Marling) to produce her eponymous third EP. Created during the COVID 19 pandemic, in the national lockdown in early 2021, the EP was produced entirely virtually from Maisie’s bedroom and Charlie’s home studio respectively. Though not the first choice, this approach makes the final product poignantly symbolic of the time in which it was created.
‘Maisie Johnson’ is due for release on all digital and streaming platforms on February 18th, 2022.
