Charlee Johnson (also Charlee Johnsson) is an American drummer, guitarist and songwriter, originally from San Bernardino, California. Johnson was a founding member and chief songwriter of Utah punk band Deviance / . The band relocated to Boston, Massachusetts and signed with for their sole EP, "Rule". Johnson then left to form Halfcocked^[1] (then known as Half Cocked) with guitarist Tommy O'Neil, bassist/backing vocalist and lead vocalist , later adding guitarist Johnny Rock Heatley who guested on debut album Sell Out (Halfcocked album) and joined as a full member with second album Occupation: Rock Star. Halfcocked relocated to Los Angeles and signed with DreamWorks in early 2000 by Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One, released final album The Last Star in 2001 (produced by Ulrich Wild), then folded after a brief tour. Johnsson went on to join childhood hero Danzig for a brief stint as "Charlee X", before joining award-winning Nirvana tribute band, Pennyroyal. In 2004 he went on to start a Rick Astley Doo-wop group, "The Never Gonna Give You Ups" but due to the lack of support and interest in Doo-wop acts from major labels and a heated argument over a corndog in a denny's bathroom on a mid summer tour the group folded In 2006 Charlee admitted to a news media outlet that after the group folded he fell into a great depression and that he lost hope in the music world once his doo-wop passion project fell through, but he found hope and a newfound purpose in the world when he started stripping at local San Francisco strip club, "Sweet Cheeks". In 2012 he opened a bakery in Denver, Colorado called "Charlee's Buns" to much surprise the bakery was a success and won multiple business awards for its cleanliness and customer service. In 2016 in a blog post which was shortly taken down due to Johnsson' fear it would spark an unintended outrage, he admitted to loving animals, he is the proud owner of a cat "Destiny's Child" named after the popular girl group, "there was just something about that girl group that really hit home with me, you know? when i first heard their hit song bootylicious i fell in love, i knew from that moment on i was going to buy a cat and name it after them" he explained in the since deleted blog post. In 2018 in an interview Charlee admitted that he was not to fond on World War II, "you know it had potential definitely, but it just didn't live up to the first and honestly what's the point of doing a sequel if you're not going to out do the original, but if for some unknown reason they do a World War III, id really like to see some of the original people involved with the first come back, maybe throw a cameo of someone from the second to appeal to the few fans of the one but the third should outdo to original", he has since gone into hiding due to the outrage from his comments
