Sabrina Johnston (born Sabrina Marie Gillison) is an American singer, songwriter, and producer. Sabrina has a vocal range that is stylistically diverse and distinctive, transitioning smoothly from R&B to Soul and Pop. Sabrina expanded her potential and pushed the possibilities by writing, arranging and producing the songs that she recorded, as well as producing for other artists. The mid-80’s kicked off her career while touring and performing with the Sugar Hill Gang which led to the formation of West Street Mob, which she was a member of until returning to New York as a Backup Vocalist at Studio 56 for artists including Melba Moore, Evelyn Champagne King, Freddie Jackson, David Grant, as well as many others. While recording at Studio 56 Sabrina recorded her first solo “Don’t Keep Me Waiting” under the Pseudonym Tia Monae. During this time, Sabrina met Michael Wooten who wrote, produced, and composed “Dearest Dear” which Sabrina recorded as a duet with Jimi Tunnell. Sabrina made many connections while at Studio 56, including Studio Engineer Ken Johnston, who was also the engineer for Producer Jellybean Benitez.

In the same year, Sabrina appeared on the Red-Hot Organizations dance compilation album Red Hot + Dance contributing an original track "Peace (Nu-Mix)" to raise awareness and money in support of the AIDS epidemic. In 1995 Sabrina teamed up with Sphinx for the #1 Billboard Single “What Hope Have I” which remained at the top position for 6 weeks. Sabrina followed up the success of “What Hope Have I” with the self-penned “Free Gay & Happy” which she recorded and released under the Pseudonym Coming Out Crew which was released on the Perfect Pair label. A second album, Sabrina was released in 1996 in Japan and again in 1998 in the United States, under the title Yum Yum which brought on the release of the single "Reasons".
