Aedan Johnson (Adn Jay) is the founder of Adn Jay Creates—a passionate educator, artist, coach, and community-builder dedicated to bringing teaching back to life with fire, fun, and purpose. Aedan’s journey through music, sports, and mindfulness has taught him powerful lessons about self-expression, discipline, and inner peace. Through it all, one thing became clear: the knowledge he’s gained isn’t meant to be kept—it’s meant to be shared. His mission is simple but deep: “Be the light that guides others to theirs.”

Raised with a love for both creativity and connection, Aedan’s path has always been about blending passion with purpose. He attended early college for video and audio production and is pursuing a music business degree at CU Denver. As an artist, Aedan produces, mixes, and masters his own music under the name Adn Jay, bringing raw authenticity and soul into every track. But his creative spirit doesn’t stop at music—it fuels everything he does, from private coaching to leading classes of 20+ students in music, sports, mindfulness, and more.

Over the years, Aedan has taught through programs like Grasshopper Kids and Taylor Robinson Music, and built Adn Jay Creates to spark that same passion in others. Whether it’s on the basketball court, behind a microphone, or in a mindfulness session, Aedan helps students of all ages trust themselves enough to express who they truly are—loudly, proudly, and authentically.

But Aedan’s vision goes beyond his own teaching. He hopes to inspire others to step into their passion to teach as well. Through Adn Jay Creates, he’s building a community of coaches and educators who aren’t afraid to show the world what they have to offer—whether it’s a specific art form, sport, musical instrument, clothing design, or something entirely new. If you love what you do and do what you love, there’s a place for you here. Aedan welcomes talents of all kinds and is always open to ideas that can help people learn not just a skill—but something about themselves.

Today, Aedan is committed to creating a lasting impact felt all across Colorado. His mission is to make learning meaningful and exciting again, to light a spark in every student, and to build a passionate community where teaching becomes a powerful force for self-discovery and joy.
