Darryl Johnson is a creative who wears many hats within the world of mainstream media—from book publishing to fashion design, sound engineering and music production.
From youth to present day, he always knew that the arts-and-entertainment sectors were his calling. And five decades later, he still hasn’t lost sight of that dream.
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Darryl grew up with a gifted ability of quickly learning new skills; trying his hand at graffiti-art, sketch illustrations, and sewing.
He ventured into music with his siblings (forming The Johnson Brothers singing group), and eventually branched out on his own to self-manage and produce his own music group, The Next Millennium.
In the realm of publishing, Darryl has created and self-funded a children’s book series titled: The Adventures of the Toppley Sweeps—a colorful illustration book that highlights the joys of discovering math, science, health, and culture (all inspired by the life curiosities of his many grandchildren).
As a CEO and serial entrepreneur, Darryl helms a full-scale media company, called PENVOID, which operates four business portfolios including: Pengulum Writers, Void Fashions, GOTG, and Void Productions.
As a lifelong learner and patron of the arts, Darryl is currently a visiting student at New York City’s prestigious FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology), studying design.
And as a retired military veteran, Darryl spends his spare time volunteering as a vendor at the James J. Peters Veterans Center in The Bronx, New York.
