54 Ultra
54 Ultra is the New Jersey-based project of songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist JohnAnthony “Johnny” Rodriguez, blending synth-driven indie rock, garage pop and soul with strong Latin influences.

In 2025, he also contributed to Kali Uchis’ album Sincerely, producing the track All I Can Say.

His debut EP First Works was named by Billboard as one of the year’s best projects so far, spawning fan favourites including Upside Down and No Tengo Valor and leading to sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles. Building on that momentum, 54 Ultra released the Spanglish synth ballad I Won’t Go and the acclaimed single Find Your Love, before embarking on a sold-out North American and EU/UK tour.
