Johnny’s new album, "Game Changer", was released in 2014 on his label, J Skillz Records in partnership with Caroline Music/Capitol Records. "Game Changer" features songs produced by Grammy Award-winners Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Tony Dixon, Chuck Harmony, Claude Kelly and Vidal Davis. The first single, “Behind Closed Doors,” peaked at No. 6 on Billboard’s Urban Adult Contemporary charts.
