This is my life, my pain, my joy, this is me

About Me

Johnny was born november of 1977 in a town called Skellefte... There was not alot of music from the beginning, it didn..t start until he was around 4 or 5. When he started banging on his mothers pots and pans. As years passed by he got more and more interested in playing the drums and that..s were it all started. In 1991 he and a friend started playing at the local musicschool, but just for fun. It wasn..t until 1993 when Johnny moved to his mother in V..nn..s, outside Ume.. he started playing with two guys and they formed the punkband Moozed. As the drummer in his first ever real band he started to involve different kinds of ideas and styles in his way of playing. In Moozed he was a drummer for 3 years and during that time he had learn to play the guitar. So when Moozed split up he started his own first band where he was the singer and guitarist. The band took the name Roswell..47.
Through the years Johnny has become one of the most respected and wellknown singer/songwriters in north of Sweden. He has touched thousands of hearts and maybe some got broken, his music is really personal and it can really get to you. There is no better place to catch him then On Stage, its where he belongs. He says that noone can descrive the feeling when you put your feet on that stage, you just don..t want to leave, ever!!
"GOD PUT US HERE FOR A REASON, THAT REASON IS LOVE, LOVE FOR THE MUSIC, LOVE TO BE LOVED, LOVE IS THE BLESSING WE GOT BORN WITH"
In may of this year 2008 he released his third fulllength CD, and that markes the area of the last 16 years. Stay tuned for next year.
