The seeds had already been planted when his father, an R&amp;B singer in the 70s, played him Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8216;Rock With You&#8217;, so he dropped his former alias, Johnny Phrank, and rebranded, with the &#8220;PE&#8221; standing for &#8220;Pushing Everyday&#8221;.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johnny&#8217;s a hardworking family man, and his children are his inspiration and one of his greatest motivators. His son appears with him in the music video for &#8216;Somehow&#8217;, and he makes a point of never missing his daughter&#8217;s basketball games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johnny&#8217;s passion is also God, for whom he gives the credit for the strength to keep doing what he loves. He met his current producer, MCV, who&#8217;s done incredible work with Megan Thee Stallion, through fate and great A&amp;R, and their collaborations are on the up and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Somehow&#8217; was Johnny&#8217;s big breakout single, and the video, with 117K views on YouTube so far, shows him singing about difficult relationships. With lyrics such as &#8220;I gotta get away even though I miss you&#8221;, Johnny shows that &#8220;in life, in tough situations, you have to adapt as best you can&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trap beat thumps like a heartbeat, as Johnny sings about still wishing the very best for the other person in the relationship. It&#8217;s a song which clearly resonates strongly with fans, and the comments on the video are testimony to just how much they can relate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be inspired by Johnny PE and the video for &#8216;Somehow&#8217; below, and find out more about this incredible artist and his music online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100074043590276&amp;mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100074043590276&amp;mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsjohnnype\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsjohnnype\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsjohnnype\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsjohnnype\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itsjohnnype?_t=8iou4glCbHi&amp;_r=1\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itsjohnnype?_t=8iou4glCbHi&amp;_r=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_42089\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dGJzJTLGofs?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"3rd Shift- Somehow   (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/dGJzJTLGofs\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnny PE was told by his brother he had a great voice, and should get into music.
