Johnny wanted to capture the essence of his warrior ancestors by mixing Japanese culture with western Rock 'n Roll.

“Johnny” Daigo Yamashita is known around Japan for his unique style of fashion and music. He is one of the few successful, young and promising rockabilly singers in the world and is making his own new Rock n’ Roll sound by infusing traditional Japanese music styles with specialty music of his own rock roots such as rock ‘n roll, rockabilly and blues. Johnny wanted to capture the essence of his warrior ancestors by mixing Japanese culture with western Rock ‘n Roll. In doing so, he has transformed the Japanese music scene with his creation of SAMURAI ROCK ‘N ROLL.

Johnny started his musical journey in Tokyo at the age of 18 after first encountering Rock ‘N Roll during junior high. He followed his new passion and released his first CD in 2011 entitled Jeana For Young. He went solo soon after the success of his first album and is now a mainstay performer throughout Tokyo and other major metropolitan cities around the world.

Not only is he an accomplished musician and composer, he also has worked as a professional actor, singer, dancer and model. He has just finished his 3rd album and you can find Johnny performing around the world with his band JOHNNY PANDORA. He is performing in major cities throughout Europe, Asia and North America in addition to Japan. He will continue to work hard spreading his original Japanese Rock ‘n Roll culture around the world.
