The History
Ever heard of the WOBBLE?! Four and a half time platinum producer Johnathan “John Boy on The Track” Wright is a songwriter, musician, and emcee. His musical works include songs by Soulja Boy, Ying Yang Twins, Mike Jones, Young Jeezy, Yung Joc, Hurricane Chris, etc. and the smash hit "Wobble" by V.I.C.
A few years ago, John Boy set out on a journey to prove to the fans of "Wobble" that he could write/produce another hit with a similar impact. This led to his follow up record titled "Back Into It," which includes upcoming artist Charm and the iconic legendary rapper from Atlanta Kilo Ali. Ironically, this record has begun to follow the same “line dance” movement as the Wobble record.
With the success of the records "Back Into It" and "Wobble," and with the proper guidance of his manager DJ Jelly and help from long time friends Koda Dixon (Platipus Jonez) and Geron Moore (Black), John Boy developed a multi-piece brass band to amplify his now huge movement. And John Boy & Surround Sound was born!
John Boy & Surround Sound includes the full-bodied sound of beautiful, bright, brass, vibrating percussion, electric lead, powerful bass, the strong element of piano keys, to go along with the mind-blowing, hype, emceeing of John Boy and his vocalists. With the release of their first album titled "Plug N’ Play," John Boy and Surround Sound has been compared to likes of OutKast, James Brown, Cab Calloway, and Earth, Wind, and Fire combined. You definitely have to see and hear it to believe it!!!
