She is committed to honoring the unpretentious life of small towns and the way she grew up that helped build her character. She portrays life\u2019s most precious moments in her music, and brings those moments to vivid life with her warm, evocative voice.<\/p>\n<p>Paige King Johnson kicked off 2024 in full force at the Carolina Country Music Awards winning \u201cSongwriter of the Year\u201d during the ceremony. Continuing with that momentum, she is excited to release her current single, \u201cSomebody\u2019s Gotta Do It.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born in a quiet North Carolina town just 22 miles south of Raleigh, as a young nine-year-old girl, Paige King Johnson spent her summers under the crepe myrtles imitating the styles of Loretta, Patsy, Waylon and Merle. Having a grandpa as her biggest fan also meant receiving the gift of her first guitar, a baby Taylor, and enrolling in lessons. As she grew older, Johnson added \u201copening act\u201d to her\u00a0resume, supporting chart-topping artists like Scotty McCreery, Neal McCoy and James Otto.<\/p>\n<p>Upon starting school at Belmont University for Music Business, Johnson honed in on the magic that had heavily influenced her as a child: the art of storytelling through songwriting. The famous Bluebird Caf\u00e9 was just one of many writers\u2019 circuits around Nashville that provided a safe space for Johnson to meet other writers.<\/p>\n<p>In the past four years, Johnson has traveled back and forth between Nashville and the Carolinas, playing shows like the North Carolina State Fair and running her dinner theater, Country on the Outskirts of Town, that she founded in high school. Johnson\u2019s quarterly show provides an atmosphere for locals to enjoy Southern cooking, fellowship with friends, and the sounds of classic and current country<br \/>\nmusic with some gospel thrown in.<\/p>\n<p>A four-time Carolina Country Music Awards Winner for Female Vocalist of the Year, Country Emerging New Artist, Single of the Year and Tour of the Year, Johnson\u2019s devoted homegrown fan base continues to expand farther than just her backyard.<\/p>\n<p>In our web-exclusive interview with Paige King Johnson, we were able to find that playful side of life that is integral to her music\u2014and the way she lives life and finds meaning in life\u2019s simple moments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us something unique\u00a0about writing the song.<\/strong><br \/>\nI wrote this song with Terri Jo Box and Scott Sean White\u2014a little over a year ago. This is the fourth or fifth song we\u2019ve written together, and it was honestly just one of those writes where we didn\u2019t labor over anything too long. We went with our gut and tried to write something relatable. And in the end, we came out with a really great song that was clever, yet conversational, which is always the goal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Paige-King-Johnson-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21187\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Paige-King-Johnson-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Paige-King-Johnson-02.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Paige-King-Johnson-02-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why was it important to record this song?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think there\u2019s plenty of love songs in the world, but not a lot of funny love songs. We had a lot of fun writing this song because of the sarcasm and lightheartedness. I think that being able to have fun and joke around with the person you love is one of the most important things in a relationship.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Terri Jo Box, Scott Sean White and I really just sat back and tried to have fun while writing this song. It\u2019s all tongue and cheek\u2014trying to bring to light the laughter and light heartedness that I believe is necessary in any marriage or long term relationship. Not a day goes by that I don\u2019t enjoy just having fun with my husband, Griffin whether it\u2019s singing him funny songs like this, or making up crazy dances or telling bad jokes. Somebody\u2019s gotta do it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWhat did you learn about yourself after recording this song?<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter recording and playing this song live, quite a bit, I\u2019ve learned that even in the mundane everyday tasks of being in a marriage or long term relationship, there\u2019s always new joy and laughter to be found. This song never fails to get a laugh from people, but couples always end up smiling at each other and hugging or holding hands too, which is really sweet to see.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paigekingjohnson.com\/\">https:\/\/www.paigekingjohnson.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PaigeKingJohnson\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PaigeKingJohnson\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paigekingjohnson\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paigekingjohnson\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@paigekingjohnson\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@paigekingjohnson<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC3IgSyPlwwYcya_gSOHgSIw\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC3IgSyPlwwYcya_gSOHgSIw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audio Premiere &amp; Web-Exclusive Interview Musician: PAIGE KING JOHNSON Video Premiere: \u201cSOMEBODY\u2019S GOTTA DO IT\u201d COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER-SONGWRITER PAIGE KING JOHNSON SHOWS THE LIGHTHEARTED, FUN SIDE OF LOVE WITH \u201cSOMEBODY\u2019S GOTTA DO IT\u201d Country music singer\/songwriter Paige King Johnson writes songs that explore every facet of her life.
