KC Johns

KC Johns delivers infectious country-rock with dynamic vocals and undeniable determination. Born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in Hernando, Mississippi, she was immersed in music early on and inspired by artists like Led Zeppelin, Stevie Nicks, and Sheryl Crow. In 2017, Johns moved to Nashville, performing on Broadway stages before joining Carnival Cruise Lines, where she spent several years international touring and connecting with global audiences. Her performance résumé includes Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors at Dollywood, opening for Luke Bryan, Chris Young, and Randy Houser, and appearances at Texas Motor Speedway, Big As Texas Festival, and Country Cruisin’. During the pandemic, KC leaned into livestreaming and social platforms, organically building an international fanbase that continues to grow through national and international touring. She gained widespread attention with her viral single “Rodeo Queen,” a crowd favorite rooted in her rodeo upbringing, which has surpassed 1.9 million streams, reached #28 on Texas Country Radio, earned Top 10 honors from the Texas Country Music Association, and landed on Amazing Radio’s Country Road Featured Playlist. Riding the momentum of her 2025 successes, KC Johns introduces “Bad Perfume,” an upcoming single produced by Smith Curry and co-written with Tim Angsten and Tim Baumgartner. Releasing February 6, the track is a smoky, dangerous rocker driven by bold guitars and sultry rhythm.
