Deron Johnson
didn't start playing the piano until the age of 16, when an injury
ended a promising football career. By his early 20's he was already
playing with Paula Abdul, and in 1991 he landed a spot in the Miles
Davis band until Miles' death later that year. After stints with
David Sanborn and Marcus Miller, he toured with Stanley Clarke in
1992, and then toured and recorded with the
"Superband" featuring Stanley, Larry Carlton, Billy
Cobham, and Najee.
In the late
90's he formed the group "Behan Johnson" with Monica
Behan. Later he toured extensively and recorded with Alanis
Morrissette. Other stints came with Boz Scaggs and Robben Ford .For
the last few years Deron's been touring with Seal, working with his
own trio "Date of Birth" and is currently working on a solo album.
