Share this article

    (September 7, 2016) SoulTrackers certainly know the name Emanuel EJ Johnson, the legendary lead singer and songwriter for the group Enchantment. But they may not know he has a talented son with the same name. Emanuel II and his wife Erica are newlywed Detroit based artists, musicians and producers with rich roots in gospel and soul music. 

    Erica toured and recorded with such Gospel stars as Deitrick Haddon, Hezekiah Walker and Donald Lawrence, while Emanuel cut his chops working with Karen Clark Sheard and Ronald Winans. They met through music and maintained a three year long distance relationship as Erica pursued a solo music career in Los Angeles. After an eight year romance through the ups and downs they could no longer deny that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

    As an expression of their love story and journey, Emanuel thought it would be fitting that they express their love through the very thing that brought them together: music. Months later a collaboration of the two hearts and musical minds would birth their wedding song and first dance, "Journey."
