Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Nashville, Gary Overton, has signed Missouri Air National Guard Tech Sergeant Angie Johnson to a recording contract with the label.

Johnson, a previous contestant on NBC’s The Voice for team Cee Lo Green, will be produced by fellow St. Louis native Josh Leo (Alabama, Love and Theft).

Johnson spent six years in the Air Force as an intelligence analyst and featured performer in the Air Force Tops In Blue Band after being honorably discharged. Her band, Sidewinder, gained attention after a video performing Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” was submitted on YouTube.
