Johnny Zarfati is a New Jersey based Americana artist. He draws on the grit of the northeast and the soul of American roots music to craft a sound that feels both "lived in" and fresh. Blending Folk, Americana, and alt country his music searches for something real. Part Troubadour, part poet, grounded in tradition but unafraid to carve his own path.

“From the moment the guitar is strummed to the last lingering note, Zarfati has a sense of hope, as one hears the rawness of real instruments combined with honest songwriting.”

— -EARMILK, 2025

Johnny Zarfati is a singer and songwriter who leans into folk rock with a soft heart. His sound feels nostalgic without being old-fashioned, and modern without losing warmth. Zarfati has a voice built for storytelling, and his writing is full of reflection, honesty, and quiet emotion. His new album Daydreams lives fully in that space, carrying eight tracks that look inward at how people love, wait, change, and eventually accept what they cannot control.
