The Sound of Love: Music, Teaching, and Triumph with James Johnson II

In this heart-centered conversation, Avatari sits down with James Johnson II — a soulful musician, producer, and educator from Alabama — to explore the transformative power of music, imagination, and love. James shares how growing up with a rare hand condition shaped his resilience, deepened his connection to music, and gave him a profound sense of purpose.

From guiding young students through their own creative breakthroughs to finding healing at the piano, James opens up about his journey with raw honesty and grounded wisdom. He reflects on his musical roots, the influence of his parents, and why he keeps a childhood cast near his keyboard as a daily reminder of where he’s come from.

This is a story about honoring your gifts, listening to your inner voice, and keeping it about the music — always.
