Deanna Johnston's uniquebluesy vocal, may be one of the most memorable female artists we've heard in a while.

Born and raised in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, as the second of four kids, Deanna didn't truly discover hermusical calling until early adulthood.

Deanna has shared the stage with several high profile artists including Edgar Winter, Chaka Khan, James Belushi, Kelly Clarkson and even had the thrill of performing for Oprah Winfrey. In early 2005, Deanna was one of the 15 final contestants chosen out of thousands of hopefuls from 9 countries to participate on the hit TV show Produced by Mark Burnett , called RockStar:INXS.
The 15 contestants competed each week in front of millions of viewers to be the next lead singer of one of the world's most successful rock bands.

This extensive exposure combined with the praise and support from the members of INXS, Dave Navarro and some of TV's top executives, has created a huge fan base and demand for her voice and music.
Deanna's powerful voice also inspired INXS to hire her to sing on their recent CD release 'Switch'. You can especially hear Deanna on the song 'Hot Girls'.

Deanna now has 15 years of professional musical experience under her belt. Drawing on U2 and Led Zeppelin among others, she has fused a unique blend of Southern, Americana Blues rock that maximizes her engaging vocal style, a real-deal grittiness.
