Johnston was born in Bishops Stortford, a town in the Southern England county of Hertfordshire. Her family relocated to South Africa when she was age three. At the age of ten, she debuted as an actor, dancer, and singer in a Johannesburg production of the musical Annie. At age 17, during her final year at Greenside High School, she joined the crossover band Mango Groove. Despite her obligations to the band, she completed a degree in English, Philosophy, and Politics at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1988.

With Johnston as the front woman, Mango Groove had already released several singles before completing their first album, Mango Groove, which they released in 1989. These pre-album singles Johnston recorded while still working toward her undergraduate degree. Three more studio albums—and numerous singles—followed in the 1990s. After Mango Groove released their fourth studio album in 1995, they did not produce another until 2009’s Bang the Drum. The band continued to perform live, but they used the recording hiatus to refresh themselves with separate projects. It was during this period that Johnston recorded her first solo album, Fearless (Sting Music, 2001). All recording was done at Real World Studios in Bath, and at Sarm West Studios and Olympic Studios in London. The tracks on Fearless were produced by Vic Coppersmith- Heaven and Marius de Vries, respectively.

Mango Groove’s most recent album, 2016’s Faces to the Sun, was four years in the making.
