Molly Johnson is a Canadian rock and jazz singer.
She was a vocalist for two funk-rock bands, Alta Moda in the 1980s and Infidels in the 1990s. Both bands had notable hits in Canada (Alta Moda's "Julian" and Infidels' "100 Watt Bulb" and "Celebrate"), but both bands broke up (for different reasons) after just one album each.
Although she has also performed as a jazz singer throughout her career, she did not release a jazz album until her self-titled solo debut in 2000. The jazz group she worked with between Alta Moda and the Infidels, Big Sugar, also became a prominent Canadian band in the 1990s.
In the mid-1990s, Johnson also organized an annual concert series, the Kumbaya Festival, as a benefit for Canadian charities working around HIV and AIDS.
