Keith Johnson — Musician, Composer, and Worship Leader
Keith Johnson, singer, pianist, composer, and orchestrator, is a native Washingtonian whose gift for music revealed itself at age seven — playing a Paderewski minuet entirely by ear, with no prior lessons. His mother, a piano teacher herself, enrolled him at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where he studied concert piano and music theory under renowned pianist and composer Lockrem Johnson
From Concert Piano to a Calling for Christ
Keith received his Certificate of Studies in concert piano and composition from Cornish at age sixteen, later exploring musical theatre in high school and summer stock productions. At eighteen, Keith became a Christian — a turning point that redirected his musical gifts toward writing songs for the Lord. He has since served as worship leader in numerous churches and written hundreds of choruses, songs, and prophetic songs performed throughout the United States, China, Canada, and England, as well as in Christian conventions, worship symposiums, and radio broadcasts.
