The Voice

Dorian Johnstone performing outdoors

Dorian Johnstone captures the warmth, sophistication, and effortless charm that made Nat King Cole a legend. With a voice that echoes the golden age of jazz, Dorian brings timeless classics to life for audiences across the UK.

From intimate pub performances to bustling high streets, Dorian's repertoire spans the beloved standards—"Unforgettable," "L-O-V-E," "Mona Lisa," "The Very Thought of You"—delivered with the style and grace that defined an era.

"Music shouldn't just be heard. It should be felt."

Whether busking in city centres or headlining a special event, Dorian creates an atmosphere of elegance and nostalgia that transports audiences back to the smoke-filled jazz clubs of the 1950s.

Currently recording new material with James Fry, Ben Hands (bass), and Francis Gryspeerdt (tenor saxophone), Dorian continues to evolve while staying true to the timeless sound that defines his performances.
