Johanson, Jay-jay
Kings Cross
Once voted "the most beautiful man in the world", Swedish artist Jay-Jay Johanson, born in Trollhättan October 11 1968, started composing already as a teenager, but it wasn't until August 1996 the debut album 'Whiskey' was released. An album recorded at Break My Heart Studio in the Stockholm archipelago. The instant success of the album, characterized by its jazzy vocals over trip hop beats, supported by film noir arrangements, took Jay-Jay out on his first of many world tours. 25 years later, with thirteen albums and two soundtracks in his portfolio, Jay-Jay is still as active as ever, working on a comedie musicale and his first major solo exhibition of art made during the last 2 decades.
