Robby Johnson’s Debut Video Goes Viral

Robby Johnson's video for his debut single, 'South of Me,' has seen big success on Johnson's YouTube channel.

The video has been seen by over 2.7 million viewers on YouTube since it was released a few months ago. The video has also seen success on CMT Pure's 12-Pack countdown, spending seven weeks in the No. 1 spot.

Johnson's album has yet to be released, but the Canadian-born singer is seeing a rare amount of success for an independent county artist. 'South of Me' is currently top 40 on the Music Row chart, and No. 1 New and Active on the Billboard Indicator chart.

Johnson, whose first language is French, co-wrote five of the 10 songs that will appear on his upcoming album, including 'Feel Good Song,' 'I Need My Honey,' and 'South of Me.' A number of his songs can be previewed at robby-johnson.com.

No release date has been announced for the album, but the 'South of Me' single is available for purchase on iTunes. Johnson is set to perform a live showcase at 12th & Porter in Nashville on March 11.
