Paul Johnson, a Chicago-born house music icon, emerged as one of the genre's most influential figures in the 1990s. A self-taught DJ prodigy, Johnson began captivating audiences at the age of 13, and his unmistakable beats, such as the global hit "Get Down," remain dance floor anthems. Beyond his musical genius, Paul was known for his unyielding spirit, unwavering passion, and commitment to community values in an ever-changing industry. His legacy stands as a testament to the true essence of house music: culture, community, and pure joy.
Paul was a dear friend of Olivia's and many others, and he is sorely missed. May he continue to rest in peace.
