Deanna Johnston
 Deanna
Johnston, 36, is a married musician living in Reseda,
California. She is originally from Kingston, Ontario, one of
four contestants originally from Canada. Deanna attended St.
Lawrence College and studied sports-oriented graphic design
before emerging as an amazing rock singer.
On
DeannaJohnston.net, she describes her sound as mature
blues-dipped new rock with an organic R&B-ish sensibility. "I've
always been drawn toward music that was thoughtful, lyric-driven and
introspective," she says with the rasp of a working professional.
"My music comes to you uncut, straight from my heart."
She left
Vancouver in 1999 for Los Angeles to focus on writing and recording
her first full length CD featuring her own original material. Her
most recent day job is as a vocalist in a cover band
that specializes in corporate events, called the MVPs.
With the MVPs Deanna has performed in support of diverse acts as
Santana, Chaka Khan, Jessica Simpson and Kelly Clarkson.
