Freedy Johnston

After graduating from the University of Kansas in 1985, Freedy Johnston fled to New York City with a four-track recording of a demo of his own original songs. He signed to Bar None Records soon after arriving in the Big Apple, and although he's never achieved the commercial success he deserves, he's received some praise from Rolling Stone, Spin and a few other music publications. As it turns out, the film world has been a great outlet for Johnston's music ever since his second record Can You Fly was released in 1992.
