LSU star Flau'jae Johnson talks to Rolling Stone about debut EP

LSU guard Flau'Jae Johnson has made a name for herself on and off the court. As a true freshman, she helped lead LSU to a national title. As a sophomore, she emerged as one of the nation’s top shooting guards during LSU’s run to the Elite Eight.

But basketball isn’t her only talent. The Savannah, Georgia, native appeared on America’s Got Talent when she was just 14. And since arriving at LSU, her music career has continued to take off.

With the release of her new EP, Johnson spoke to Rolling Stone for a feature story. Johnson discussed how she isn’t letting her basketball career hold back her musical one and vice versa.

“This is me trying to show that I am the one that can do both,” Johnson told Rolling Stone.

The EP is titled “Best of Both Worlds,” which Johnson said referenced her ability to excel in the gym and in the studio.

She went on to say the game of basketball has made her a better musician.

“Basketball has made me have a certain discipline in my life that helps me demolish the music side. It’s taught me that you work at something every day, you put the hours in, you just fall in love with the process.” Johnson said.

With Angel Reese off to the WNBA, Johnson is set to be the key piece of LSU’s 2024-25 squad as the Tigers look to make another deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
