SUMMARY:54 Ultra
LOCATION:Vivarium\, Vivarium\, 1818 N Farwell Ave\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53204\, United States
DESCRIPTION:In the kaleidoscopic world of music\, 54 Ultra emerges as a beacon of sonic\nfusion\, weaving synthy indie rock with a Latin soul heartbeat. Based out of New\nJersey\, 54 Ultra is the musical project of songwriter and producer JohnAnthony\n(Johnny) Rodriguez. Offering music that is both honest and melodic\, with a\ncharismatic stage presence to match\, 54 Ultra is carving out a space uniquely\nhis own\, defined by a garage pop and soul sound.\n\nThrough a combination of interning in a New Jersey studio and self-teaching\,\nJohnny built a solid foundation in music production before stepping into the\nspotlight with his own artist project. In early 2025\, Johnny headed to Miami to\nwork with Kali Uchis on her latest album\, Sincerely\, where he produced the track\n“All I Can Say.”\n\nIn 2024\, he shared his debut single\, “Where Are You\,” which quickly gained\ntraction online\, introducing listeners to a sound that feels both timeless and\nfresh. A year later\, he released his debut EP First Works\, which Billboard named\none of the Best Projects of the Year (So Far). The six-track collection features\nfan favorites such as “Upside Down” and “No Tengo Valor” and was followed by\nfour sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles.\n\nTowards the end of 2025\, 54 Ultra released “I Won’t Go\,” a Spanglish synth\nballad that further underscored his ability to pair emotional intimacy with a\nvibrant\, genre-blurring sound. Shortly afterward\, he followed with “Find Your\nLove\,” which premiered on KCRW’s Live From HQ and Morning Becomes Eclectic. The\nsingle was a fan favorite throughout his sold-out fall tour (North America\,\nEU/UK) and was produced by Homer Steinweiss and Leon Michels (El Michels Affair\,\nClairo). The release arrived as 54 Ultra prepares for an expanded North American\ntour beginning in early 2026\, a 21-date run that brings him to several markets\nfor the first time\, and culminates in his Coachella debut just over a year after\nsharing his first single.
