His music not only opens horizons but also fosters exploration, creation, harmony, and community building. His foremost objective is to share his music with supporters of jazz who appreciate the spirit of sharing and fraternity, and to continue combining strengths with others for a harmonious cultural development.

Furthermore, Johnbern has been recognized with awards from various organizations, including one from the most prestigious jazz festival in the Caribbean (PAPJAZZ), in recognition of his contributions to jazz music in Haiti.
In June 2017, Johnbern released his first album with the Johnbern Thomas Trio, which has already generated significant buzz across various media platforms,by showcasing the sounds rooted in the Haitian heritage. Since relocating from Haiti to Florida 4 years ago, he fully immersed himself in the local music scene, collaborating with talented musicians and organizing notable events.
