Equipped with an adventurous and fiery attitude, former Runaway June lead singer and chief songwriter Naomi Cooke Johnson returns with a pavement pounding anthem, "Livin' Ain't Killed Me Yet." Semi-autobiographical, the song is a musical adrenaline rush celebrating living life to the fullest. Listen now HERE.
“This song is a perfect glimpse into the lenses in which I view life. To make my way through life I have had to take massive chances and risks, some of which have brought me to very scary places where thelessons were intense and the growth was painful,” said Cooke Johnson. “My brushes with danger, and even death, have made me want to live my life how I want to live it and on my terms with a sort of ‘is that all you got?’ attitude. If there is one thing I’m sure of, it’s that this all comes to an end for every single one of us and I want to feel alive while I am alive. I hope you love ‘Livin’ Ain’t Killed Me Yet.’”
Co-written by Naomi Cooke Johnson alongside Phil Bentley and producer Dan Muckala, “Livin’ Ain’t Killed Me Yet” is a scorching celebration of carefree fun with a chosen family of friends.

The release of “Livin’ Ain’t Killed Me Yet” follows Cooke Johnson’s first offering of music in her solo catalog, “Girls of Summer.” Never resting on her laurels and teeming with a wanderlust for life and its stories, she’s anchored a career sharing songs that chronicle her childhood years of homeschooling and living on a renovated school bus to her current life as a working mom with a new baby balancing a recording artist’s schedule.

About Naomi Cooke Johnson:
Naomi Cooke Johnson’s life is a song worth writing and a story worth telling. Growing up impoverished with no education, Cooke Johnson found her refuge and purpose in music.

With powerhouse vocals and an irresistibly upbeat tempo, “Girls of Summer,” was fans’ first taste of blazing new music from Cooke Johnson who has truly come into her own as a solo artist. Her sophomore release is coming equipped with an adventurous and fiery attitude, as Naomi returns with, "Livin' Ain't Killed Me Yet” via BMG/BBR Music Group.
