Praised for his "elegant and rounded sound" (Albany Times Union) and "effortless...unmatched" technique (The Clarinet Online), Graeme Steele Johnson is an artist of uncommon imagination and versatility. His diverse artistic endeavors range from a TEDx talk comparing Mozart and Seinfeld, to his reconstruction of a forgotten 125-year-old work by Charles Martin Loeffler, to performances of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in its original form on an elongated clarinet that he commissioned.

Since 2022, Johnson has served as the clarinetist of the award-winning quintet WindSync (MKI Artists), one of only two American wind quintets with a full-time, international touring schedule. As a chamber musician outside of WindSync, he has collaborated with such distinguished artists as David Shifrin, Lucy Shelton, Ani Kavafian, Anthony Marwood, Stella Chen, Simone Porter, Chad Hoopes, Matthew Lipman, Bridget Kibbey and Allan Vogel, as well as the Miró, Callisto and KASA Quartets, Imani Winds, and the New York New Music Ensemble. As a concerto soloist, he has performed twice with the Vienna International Orchestra, as well as with the Springfield Symphony Orchestra, Caroga Arts Ensemble, Vermont Mozart Festival Orchestra and the CME Chamber Orchestra.

Johnson is the winner of the Hellam Young Artists’ Competition and the Yamaha Young Performing Artists Competition. Other recent accolades include the Saint Botolph Club Foundation's Emerging Artist Award and the inaugural Lee Memorial Scholarship from the Center for Musical Excellence.
