Overview
- Johnson told Rolling Stone on Tuesday that he is "exploring" a music career and is actively looking into styles he loves rather than chasing commercial results.
- "Your Dad," a tender guitar ballad he co-wrote with American Idol winner Iam Tongi, was released on the Disney companion album Moana: Voices Across the Ocean.
- Johnson and his wife Lauren Hashian are credited as executive producers on the companion album and Johnson says the song was reworked with Tongi to be a message to his three daughters.
- He described a likely musical lane as old‑school soul with some country flavor and cited influences such as Sam Cooke and Merle Haggard while noting his teenage time in Nashville.
- No record deal, album plan, or tour has been announced and some outlets have framed his public exploration as a possible career shift after the live‑action Moana’s weaker box‑office returns.
