Johnnie started out making YouTube videos with Bryan Stars when he was 16. They met through Johnnie working as Bryan's merch guy. He is in the collab channel "Our World Away" which is currently on a hiatus. He dated Alex Dorame.
Johnnie grew up in San Jose, in California with his mom, brother, and sister. His dad passed away on December 7, 2010, because of cancer. This was the first part of his depression.
Johnnie struggled a lot in school because of his having dyslexia, and for getting bullied for dressing differently than the others. He went to therapy for about four years, three days a week after his dad passed away. The therapists used to always check his weight, thinking he was way too skinny.
He went to three different institutions, staying there for a week each; one of them he found scary and out of hand. Johnnie was suicidal during these four years, but he kept on going and eventually got better.
Not so Perfect was Johnnie's first EP, consisting of five different songs with one of the songs featuring musician Catching Your Clouds. The EP was available on the 27th of November, 2015 and was recorded at Talent Shoppe Records.
Lost was Johnnie's second EP, consisting of six different songs with one of them being his smash hit "My Mind". Two other popular songs from it are "Mess Up" and "Someone So Damn Amazing". The EP was available on the 28th of October, 2016.
We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat is an EP made by Johnnie's new band Til Death Do We Part... This album had 5 songs. The EP was available on the 13th of October, 2017.
I Could Sleep Here, I Could Die Here is Johnnie's first full-length album. It has 8 songs. The album has the single "Afraid" and has four music videos. This album was available on July 6, 2018.
He released two singles (Lost My Sanity and Poison) throughout 2019, and has released three so far in 2020 (Welcome To Hell, Miss You, and One & Only).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I just feel it take a hold of me
And I don't know where we went wrong
And I'll try to sing along to a song that never ends
I know that I'm wrong, so goodbye my closest friend
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
As we come to an end
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You're never gonna see the end of this foreign love song
And I'll just be the one who's cryin' his heart out
And I'll try to sing along to a song that never ends
I know that I'm wrong, so goodbye my closest friend
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
As we come to an end
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And I'll try to sing along to a song that never ends
I know that I'm wrong, so goodbye my closest friend
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
As wะต come to an end
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I'll try to sing along to a song that never ends
I know that I'm wrong, so goodbye my closest friend

His songs make me want to live a little longer.
"I know that I'm wrong..so goodbye my closest friend, as we come to an end," makes me remember who I was back then and now I'm different, I feel like I died and came back better but somehow worse.
