About Me

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never have enough."=======================================A bit about us: We are an electro-acoustic band featuring a guy and a girl, named Mike and Johanna.Mike is a 24 yr old artist/producer born in New York and raised in the UK, & Johanna is a 20 yr old singer/songwriter born and raised in Sweden.We met each other whilst traveling and decided we really wanted to paint pictures with music, and make songs that really reflect what's going on around us.We're also going to be hosting charity gigs throughout our travels, we'll be in London soon, so anyone there with some ideas please let us know. Recently we've raised money for STEPPING STONES NIGERIA , to build a school in Nigeria, and written music for an African hiphop album entitled MAPITO with all proceeds going to The World Swim for Malaria Foundation.We hope you'll be coming on this journey with us, and hope you enjoy the music as much as we have recording it. Please check back in when you can as we'll be updating the music as soon as each track is recorded and copyrighted.Thanks for listening!Mike & Johanna=======================================Here's some photos we've taken during our travels.. (note that clicking them only brings up an annoying link)....Gallery from our travels:"Lens flares are sparks or glows that occur from the reflections inside the lens of a camera or even the lens of your eye. As the light bounces around inside the lens flare, multiple reflections of the light appear, glowing and sparkling.."=======================================This is cool, shows where people were in the world when they viewed this site:
