Artist:Johnny O.
Song:Fantasy Girl
Album:The Very Best of Johnny O.: Famous Last Words
Fans of Freestyle dance music are probably already familiar with the music of Juan "Johnny O" Ortiz. Along with Stevie B, he's one of the most popular singers of that kind of music. The 1988 single Fantasy Girl was his first hit followed by several more. Ortiz is from Brooklyn, NY. Ortiz wrote and produced Fantasy Girl with MicMac Records owners Mickey Garcia and Elvin Molina. That and singles like Memories, Dreamboy/Dreamgirl and Runaway Love were all dance club hits. That's pretty good for that kind of music. Ortiz recorded three albums for MicMac and he currently records for the German label XYZ. They released this comp. There is incorrect bio info that Ortiz is a radio host in Canada. He lives in Florida with his family. I would guess that he is semi retired at this point. He can probably live off his royalties. Here's Johnny O. performing Fantasy Girl 1988.
