Some singers grab your attention with power; Phoebe Johnson draws you in with honesty. Her voice, soft as dusk in Fort Worth, wraps each lyric in a kind of quiet affection that’s rare—not just in music, but in people. Spend a few minutes with Phoebe and you’ll realize: the sweetness in her voice isn’t an act. It’s just who she is.
Growing up in Texas, Phoebe learned early about love—her father writing songs for her and her brother, sharing private moments accompanied by a well-worn guitar. “I’ve always loved to sing,” she says, remembering those nights, “and seeing my dad play guitar inspired me to learn too.” Her childhood was filled with laughter, encouragement and patience. As an emotional teenager, when words felt too heavy to speak, music was how Phoebe let her feelings come out—soft, real, and unfiltered.
These days, Phoebe writes whenever the world gets overwhelming, a habit as natural as taking a breath. “I just write songs when I feel emotional and feel like I have to get my feelings out. It’s my therapy.” You sense, listening to her, that music is never just for the spotlight. It’s her way of showing up for herself—and, now, for anyone listening. That vulnerability, that willingness to be exactly who she is, draws people in. There’s no ego in her work, just longing, gratitude, and the hope that maybe someone out there will feel a little less alone.
Her dreams aren’t about fame for the sake of it. “I hope to gain a large following of people who appreciate and connect with my music,” she says, eyes bright with hope and a little shyness. TikTok, YouTube, Instagram—these are just bridges to the people she wants to reach. Her songs are gentle invitations: come as you are, listen, and know someone else has felt what you’re feeling.
Ask Phoebe where she’ll be in a few months, and she answers with the same genuine warmth that runs through every line she sings: “With a decent following on my social media accounts, with my own original songs on Spotify.” She’s not worried about speed, just about growing true to herself—letting her music unfold as honestly as the feelings behind it.
