Patrick 'S. Fly' Johnson is an Emmy Nominated producer/emcee and hip hop activist, and was the chief founder of the mighty Red Light District - a family consisting of emcees, singers, and musicians - and helped pioneer the Alabama underground hip hop music scene. In 1996, Red Light released the now-classic single 'I Know'. The group followed up with the full length Welcome to the Red Light - Vol. 1 (1997), The Session I & II (1998 and 2000), The John Woodlawn Project (2003), and several underground mix CD's. During this era, Red Light produced and recorded advertisements for WABM-68 (2000 Fall jingle), St. Ides, and several local politicians and political groups - the first of any such group from Birmingham to do so. Patrick released his debut solo CD, Where Did it Go Wrong - the Birth of Blaq Angel the summer of 2009.

Patrick joined jazz/soul/funk band Mecca's Groove, playing trombone. He has shared billing with Mary J. Blidge, Run-DMC, Outkast, and Goodie Mobb to name a few. In 2006, Patrick was chosen by APT to produce original music for the soundtrack and score to Mr. Dial Has Something to Say. The film's trailer won an Emmy Award in 2007, and the full length documentary was awarded 4 Emmy Award's in 2008. Patrick also received the distinguished honor of being nominated for an Emmy Award for acting as Music Director of the soundtrack.

S. Fly is also the president of the board of directors for the Museum of Urban Art and sits on the board of Real Life Poets, Inc. Both organizations are dedicated to the education and empowerment of our communities through the urban arts and the culture of hip hop music.
