She/Her

Ingrid D. Johnson is a Jamaican/ Canadian published poet, spoken word recording artist, short film maker, and singer-songwriter who found her musical dream within a dream years ago, awaking to the humming of her first song that has led to a 16+ year career filled with soulful, socially conscious, poignant songwriting, backed by her band, The Funky Fresh Crew, and influenced by musicians from Leonard Cohen to Billie Holiday.

Committed to sharing her music and healing journey after the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, Johnson has been honored in the 2011 Government publication: Women in The Arts: Artists Working for Social Change. Thus, confirming Johnson’s vision and mission for her small production company, In The Closet Productions, to be “a voice for the voiceless.”
