About

Hi, I’m Christian Tapper, a Caribbean-American recording artist and producer based in Tampa/ NYC. I create and perform music as a vocalist, keyboardist, and DJ; I also write, record, mix, and master my own work under the stage name Johnny Champagne. I perform at venues ranging from Bowery Ballroom in NYC to the Straz Center in Tampa, and I lead a jazz band called Tha Banned as its keyboardist.

In addition to performing, I teach music production and piano, direct choirs, and score films. I combine studio craft with live performance, and I’m passionate about storytelling through sound and collaboration with diverse artists.
