D.C. band Oh He Dead's new album is throwing out all sorts of feelings
Briefly

CJ Johnson’s journey from aspiring psychology student to the powerful frontwoman of Oh He Dead showcases the unexpected paths that can lead to musical discovery. Her teacher's belief in her talent profoundly transformed her life.
"Nobody's ever asked me that," Johnson reflects on her previous plans before a teacher encouraged her musical talents, highlighting the role of mentorship in shaping her career.
Claire Newbegin, Johnson’s former teacher, saw potential in her voice when others did not. Now managing the band, she comments, "She just really believed in me."
Johnson's songwriting approach combines storytelling and emotion, stating, "I feel more like I'm painting a picture. Then there are other songs where I'm just throwing out feelings."
