We had the good fortune of connecting with Sherman “worm” Johnson Jr and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sherman “WoRm”, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process came from recognizing in the moment what I offered in my market of Music Production and Sound Engineering. I’ve always taken pride in being self made. When getting it out the mud you find yourself doing a lot a jobs that you don’t normally do, in-house.

Hence “Front Room Studios”

The true definition of in-house.

I’ve always provided a comfortable environment for artist to create without judgement.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am an artist and entrepreneur from Oklahoma City with 20+ years of experience.
I have been recording and engineering my own records since the age of 10. I am self taught.

I’ve learned that you get out what you put in. It’s ok to go at your own pace, trying to outgrow the space you are in without understanding the patience and dedication it takes will set you back.

So that’s why I created Front Room Studios to be a sort of representation or a breeding ground for artist to learn the industry and present accordingly so they can make informed decisions.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well first I would take them to get some breakfast at Scrambl’d, then we would go to Front Room Studios, chill or work depending on the vibe, then for lunch we going to Woo’s Wings. Then go RIGHT BACK to Front Room Studios, then for night activities we would hit up “Trip N Friends” and enjoy sounds from the talent in the city!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There’s soooo many to name!
Tony “L.T.Z.” LeSure,
Jabee Williams,
Santray “Trip G” Long, and
Danielle “DaniReadThatBook” Wright.
