Sabrina Johnston

Sabrina Johnston is an American singer, songwriter, and producer, known for her diverse vocal range and house music contributions. After her self-penned, gospel-influenced Pop (dance/urban) track, ‘Peace,’ climbed to the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart in 1991, Sabrina Johnston signed with JBR Records and EastWest for her self-titled debut album. The full album, Peace, was subsequently released in 1992, solidifying her presence in the music industry. Johnston, known for her versatile vocal style across R&B, Soul, and Pop genres, honed her craft as a music major at Cheyney State University before becoming a highly sought-after session singer, collaborating with artists such as West Street Mob and Lauryn Hill.

Her early career also saw her expand into writing, arranging, and producing her own music and for other artists. Building on the success of her debut, Johnston released further singles including ‘Friendship’ in 1991 and ‘I Wanna Sing’ in 1992. That same year, she contributed an original track, ‘Peace (Nu-Mix),’ to the Red Hot Organization’s ‘Red Hot + Dance’ compilation, supporting AIDS awareness and fundraising efforts. Her second album, Sabrina, was issued in Japan in 1996, later seeing a US re-release as Yum Yum in 1998.

Her contributions extended into the new millennium, commencing with ‘House Music’ recorded alongside Luis Radio in 2001. That year also saw the release of her single ‘Lift You Up’ and another feature on ‘Hallelujah’ by Midnight Express. Johnston’s collaborative spirit continued into the mid-2000s, featuring on ‘A DJ For President’ by Livinwell and ‘Shine’ by Two’s Company, both in 2004. Her most recent recorded work from this period includes a feature on ‘Secret’ by Stefano Capasso in 2005, underscoring her enduring influence and adaptability within the music scene.
