He is probably most well known for his vocals alongside Jordan Blilie in the now defunct post-hardcore band, The Blood Brothers. He is currently the vocalist of Jaguar Love. Johnny has also provided vocals for The Vogue, Soiled Doves, and Neon Blonde. His voice has been described by critics at Alternative Press as sounding like "a child being tortured.

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". Some of his remixes can be found on his "DJ Johnny Whitney" MySpace page.

In 2010, Johnny provided vocals for Felix Cartal's track "Volcano", featured on the album "Popular Music".

He runs a clothing company called Crystal City Clothing along with his wife Amy Carlsen. On the 21st 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."
