    • Personal Journals

When the echoes of a childhood steeped in music blend with tales of stage and screen, you get the captivating story of Johnny Ward. From the streets of Walkinstown, Dublin, Johnny has danced through life's highest highs and its lowest lows, all while maintaining a tune that's uniquely his own. This episode promises an emotional symphony as we explore Johnny's beginnings in a home vibrating with the sounds of Beethoven, the silence that followed his father's passing, and the thrill of his first steps onto the stage.
Feel the rush and the vulnerability as Johnny recounts the vibrant days of his youth, performing in 'Les Misérables', navigating the boy band craze, and later, the tremors of anxiety that shook his world on the precipice of adulthood. The acting industry, with all its glitter and grime, comes alive through his stories of stage fright, the betrayal of trust within the industry, and the familial bonds that provided an anchor amidst the storm. Johnny's journey is a testament to the resilience required in the world of performance and the scars left behind when the lights dim.
