Johnny Whitney (born June 28, 1981) is a singer, author and multi-instrumentalist from Seattle. He is known for being a vocalist in the post-hardcore band, The Blood Brothers and in the post-punk band Jaguar Love.

Johnny has gone on to remix songs from Jaguar Love, as well as songs by other artists: "Positive Tension" by Bloc Party, Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a clash of "Heartbeats" by The Knife with The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy", and is featured on Daryl Palumbo's Remix of Cage's song "Shoot Frank".[1]

On 21 July 2010, Johnny released volume 1 of his acoustic mixtapes through Crystal City clothing:

I have been writing acoustic and piano songs for the entirety of my times in both the Blood Brothers and Jaguar Love. Some of these songs have gone on to be BB’s/JL songs (Denver Max, Bats over the Pacific Ocean) but most of them I’ve kept to myself until now. Unlike a lot of the stuff I’ve been doing for the past year or so all of these songs are very heavily anchored in narrative and lyrical content [1]
