Kaydi Johnson manifests this magic in her work. She rolls forceful and racy lyrics into short stories and cinematic slices of life. Her lyrics and music find new ways to explore such themes as living, loving, politics and love lost. Kaydi’s songs stay with you long after they have ended. Haunting and joyous. Provocative and poetic. Magnetic and musically delicious word plays that always charm the ears, hearts and minds of her listeners.
