Meet The Performers: Johnathan O' Gilvie
On June 12th, Fusion and Co will be hosting their second I heart R&B show that will be taking place at Soundbar located in downtown Orlando, Fl. There will be seven talented R&B artists taking the stage; and giving all the vibes of rhythm, blues, soul, and love. Johnathan O' Gilvie will be one out of the seven artists. His talents are producing, singing, and piano, to name a few. At the beginning of the year, Johnathan dropped his EP Go Beyond. The six-song project is moody melodic with the likes of The weekend and Partynextdoor. My fav from the project would be Keep; I am excited to see what he brings to I Heart R&B.
Johnathan O’Gilvie is an American singer, songwriter, pianist, and producer. Born in Orlando, Florida, O’Gilvie found his love for music in 2008 when his mother gifted him a guitar. In 2010, he started playing piano/keyboard, and his natural ability to do so made it his primary instrument. In 2013, O’Gilvie started producing on his iPod, thus birthing his love for production and composition. His second EP, Go Beyond, was released on January 18th, leaving us with much anticipation for future work.
