Everything You Wanted to Know About ‘The One That Was Meant for Me’ Artist Johnny Huynh
At just 21 years old, rising artist Johnny Huynh has exploded onto the music scene, and things are about to get even bigger for him this year following his signing with Columbia Records.

Even as he's balanced college with engineering internships and his burgeoning music career, he's made waves with original singles "The One That Was Meant for Me" and "Cheater," and his debut single with Columbia, "GOOD AS YOU," is our favorite from Johnny yet. He's only getting started in 2024, with some very big things on the way. Curious about Johnny's journey so far? Keep scrolling to discover everything he shared with us as our latest Man Crush Monday.
