About Me
Hi!
I'm Grayson Johns. Welcome to my website! Thanks for being interested in me enough to type my name into the domain box.
I'm an actor, singer, and performer originally from Florence, Alabama. I have been a music and arts-oriented person for as long as I can remember. I have been singing, as well as playing piano and percussion for basically my whole life. It’s been in my blood. At any given moment, you can probably see my fingers moving in a piano cadence or tapping the beat to whatever song is currently running through my head, because there WILL be a song in my head at any given moment.
I grew up performing, mostly by singing and playing music alone, but I didn't realize how much I loved acting until high school. My choir teacher convinced me to audition for the spring musical, Big River, and when I got cast, I was hooked for life. Acting became the new forefront to my passion, and I have been performing in musical theatre since.
I am a showman and entertainer at heart, on and off the stage, with both humor and sincerity. My humor carries me through my life, and I am not myself if I’m not cracking some sort of a joke nearly every minute. I am an actor and singer, with strong senses of comedic timing, staging, and pacing, as well as an eye for directing. I have gathered knowledge about my craft through classes, as well as my experience in consuming inspiration through art, and I plan to continue doing both to grow in my craft.
About my personality: I am an Enneagram Type 3, which means I am The Achiever. This means that I am highly driven to succeed, and I am definitely a perfectionist. That is how my mind works in all things, and especially with my craft. This, along with my faith and mission to do everything for the glory of God, drive my work ethic. I am an only child, which has given me a strong sense of who I am. I am a strongly visual learner as well. People define me and know me for my integrity (artistically and in my personal life), my deep love for others, my kindness, and my humor.
I believe performing is my life and calling, and I want to be performing for my whole life. I have a passion for stories about the human experience: how we relate to and interact with each other, and who we are inside of our own minds and personalities. I love making an audience laugh, and I love getting to make an audience cry. That's who I am.
P.S.: If you ever want to talk about movies and film, hit me up. I'll talk all day. :)
