Rodney Ho Interviews Michael Johns in Atlanta
Michael Johns performed in between sets at the Infinite Energy Slam, a charity tennis event at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth, GA on Saturday night.
Rodney Ho of American Idol Buzz got a chance to speak with Michael, and he captured the interview on video. Watch it, after the jump.
Michael will be at the Avalon in Los Angeles performing with the Dan Band on December 20, and says he’s got a couple of “holiday shows” lined up for the 27th and 28th.
Michael tells Rodney that he’s got a few more songs to record for his upcoming album but that “it’s done.” Twenty songs were recorded for a 12-cut album. He describes the record as “all soul.” and “very stripped down.” He says it’ll be distributed “probably through Sony/ATV or Universal.”
The album drops in March, and the single in February.
After the first of the year, the Shaun White documentary he scored will be released on DVD after it debuts on ESPN, January 2. Michael is also set to perform at the Sundance Film Festival.
Video after the JUMP…



Thanks for posting MJ, this is such a great interview, choc-full-o Michael Johns album info. Rodney and his videographer (I believe it was his girlfriend!) did a really great job with this interview…right down to business asking details about the album.
I’m so glad Michael is keeping busy and that he has also finished recording…I was getting worried that with all his appearances he wouldn’t have time to get the recording done but luckily Michael seems to be the Energizer Bunny! February for the single and March for the album–can’t wait!
Great job by Rodney. So relaxed, yet he got us so much info.
Michael is such a genuine and funny guy.
LMAO at the extensions and the fan blowing.
Nice interview with Youth of Honor and Michael

Thanks so much, MJ! I always enjoy Rodney’s interviews with Michael, and this one was especially good. So much fantastic new information!
Michael is certainly a busy guy! Yay that he has finished the album. Now we just have to be patient and wait for the single and album to come out. I’d love to play Wii Bowling with Michael! Thanks for posting MJ!
For all the David Cook fans…Rodney has a video up today of a performance last night in Atlanta. He will be posting a brief interview with David later today.
That was a great interview. Thanks for linking to it, MJ. Rodney and his girlfriend are a good team!
Great interview with loads of news about the album. I like that the album will be more soul.
Thanks for posting, MJ!
Rodney did well with those questions he asked, he needn’t have to worry about the lighting or the background.
And this additional info just came in from MJO. Michael will be on the Today Show on 23 Dec 08 during the 8 a.m. hour. Looking forward to it.
