The FOREMOST POETS aka jOHNNYDANGEROUs: Reshaping Dance, Funk and Spoken Word



The FOREMOST POETS aka "jOHNNYDANGEROUs" has been reshaping Dance, Funk and the spoken word. With many Chicago greats, he is One of the inventors of The Deep House Sound through his own blend of future funk & spoken word.

In 1990, he released his first underground hit single "Reasons To Be Dismal?" on Nu Groove/SBK Records. A few years later, Johnny dropped the atomic bomb "Problem 13 (I Beat That *itch With A Bat)" in 1993 and orbited into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. Since then, the name carries great respect in the underground throughout the entire world. When Johnny's striking voice appeared on his release "Moonraker", he set a new standard for DJs around the world.

His legendary accapellas, production, singing styles & remixes are the rave, sending crowds into a hypnotic frenzy.

Born in Philadelphia, USA, Raised in New Jersey, he relocated back to Philadelphia in 2007 to assist in a community project called The Arts Garage, which is well known for it's community events, plays, shows & activism. Today, the "FUNKMASTER" continues to innovate while currently dropping some of the wickedest white Label Remixes of Rick James, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Enya, Dr Buzzard, The Peech Boys, San Ilya, Outkast, Jazmina & others yet to match. He currently has singing collaborations with multiple producers & artist for this decade like Karizma, Louie Vega, Robert Babicz & many others. jOHNNYDANGEROUs, poet, producer, writer, singer, DJ, engineer & now film director is no longer a master in the making; Foremost Poets is shaped, formed in passion & always been the fashion.

"There may be many Johnny Dangerous', but there's only one Foremost Poets".
