My name is Devon C Johnson. I’m a father who loves music. I get the most excited when my daughter hears a song that makes her smile and jump around. As a 20 year DJ veteran I have a deep understanding of music curation for all kinds of audiences, but find the most special and rewarding are the songs that make kids happy. I would love to bring my passion and skills to Music Choice to create effective programming for children.

Music Curation
I’ve been tasked with creating narratives through music for several high-end companies and events. My music curation takes into account environment, context, and relate-ability. Who will be listening to this playlist? What’s going to make them shazam or share it with their friends? And for children, what’s going make them ask their parents to listen over and over and over and…..
DATA
In my music career, data analysis has been key to understanding trends and how to capitalize on them. By consuming trade magazines, tracking charts, and analyzing regional sales, I’ve been able to gain insight as to how to best market material and what will resonate and with whom. I am eager to apply this work ethic to Kids Programming at Music Choice.
Music Producer
Understanding what makes music tick on a micro-level is one of my greatest strengths. My technical understanding of songwriting, production, and engineering gives me an edge above the typical music curator. It’s one thing to love music, it’s another to understand it on a molecular level. I’ve also created music for several high-profile brands.
