1blackfrend Bio
1blackfrend is the brainchild of Detroit-native Randi Johnson. The disavowed granddaughter of former first lady, Ladybird Johnson, and famed burrito aficionado, she has been turning her experiences into songs since a drifter handed her a beat-up acoustic guitar outside of a bus station in Bucksnort, Tennessee.
Johnson relocated to Jacksonville, Florida, in 2020 to be closer to her biological brothers, Grant Nielsen and Chris Poland. After teaching them to play bass and drums, respectively, Johnson successfully coerced them into forming a band through a combination of pizza parties and extortion.
