Tyriq Johnson is gifted with a multi-octave voice as unique as his name. Originally from Milwaukee, WI, Tyriq began to shine at an early age as a multi-instrumentalists and singer. He played drums, trumpet and percussion; but could usually sing better than the lead vocalist in whatever band he was working in. Tyriq moved to Las Vegas in 2002 and was quickly in high demand performing in Clubs, Concerts and Casino Showrooms.

Tyriq’s soaring falsetto and confidant stage persona drew the attention of national acts working in Las Vegas. He was soon singing with recording artists Sheena Easton, Richard Street, Ollie Woodson, and most recently a Las Vegas residency with the Righteous Brothers.

The “Serpentine Fire” project grew out of Tyriq’s association and friendship with Verdine White and Ralph Johnson of Earth Wind & Fire. His voice is a perfect fit for their musical catalog – an instantly recognizable American songbook that perfectly showcases Tyriq’s vocal prowess.

In 2019, Tyriq joined forces with Arranger / Conductor Mariano Longo and created a unique and exciting “Symphony / Pops” presentation. They have united this uplifting and funky music with sophisticated orchestration to present an irresistible crowd pleasing show. “Serpentine Fire” – the music of Earth Wind & Fire is a first class performance of this universally known music for orchestral audiences of all ages.

The next step in building “Serpentine Fire” was recruiting the exceptional vocal talents of E.C. Adams – also a Las Vegas headliner who has opened for Joan Rivers & Jay Leno, and performed with Gladys Knight and KC & the Sunshine Band. EC has toured internationally with the BMA award winning vocal group “Spectrum.” He brings a wealth of performing experience and a degree in music production.

The 6 piece touring group also features Walter Jones (Bass & Vocals), Chris Clermont (Guitar & Vocals), and Michael Angelo Vattima (Drummer and Assoc. Conductor) These gentlemen are among the best instrumental & vocal talents that Las Vegas has to offer. All together their show is a dynamic and fast paced journey through the 70’s and 80’s hits of “Earth Wind and Fire.”
“Tyriq Johnson brought the Fire – Great vocalists, classy presentation, and Mariano Longo’s excellent arrangements and charts for the orchestra, So “Let’s Groove Tonight!”– Dr. Jason Leo Curly – Utica Symphony Orchestra

“GREAT singers, and a FANTASTIC orchestra, united together for an evening you will never forget.” -Ron Garrett – Hall of Fame Broadcaster & Entertainment Consultant
