Jay-Jay Johanson

He is one of the best musicians on the planet, a retro seducer, a slender and whimsical prince on a pea, who is allowed everything because he is almost God. The Swedish singer, composer, arranger, producer, remixer, and DJ, Johansson has released four albums: "Whiskey", "Tattoo", "Poison", and "Antenna", which have gained worldwide fame no less than his compatriots Abba, IKEA, and H&M combined. During his first visit to Russia, his stunning performance, hypnotic vocals, and enchanting melodies from the album "Antenna" mesmerized the audience. The extraordinary, unique sound of the hit "So Tell the Girls that I'm Back in Town" nearly became a sensation. DJ Johansson performed then for a select audience accompanied by cold, detached video art. A new program, new songs, and proven hits. Once heard, they are unforgettable. Having once fallen under the spell of this unique voice - fluid and tender, proud and heart-wrenching, having once heard these melodies, it is impossible not to fall in love with this profoundly human music. Melancholic confession songs, a combination of trip-hop, glam rock, and broken rhythms with heavyweight arrangements in the spirit of the 50s brought him fame in continental Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The first records sold over a hundred thousand copies each. After the astounding success of the compilation album "Prologue", North America fell at his feet. In his youth, Johansson played punk, worked as a DJ, and later participated in a jazz quartet. In college, he studied architecture and graphic design, worked as an art director at the iconic English magazine I-D and the Swedish magazine Pop. He returned to music after hearing the album "Dummy" by Portishead and instantly found his niche. Today, Johansson performs live concerts around the world and DJs at the most exquisite parties. His DJ set accompanies Cartier, Lanvin, and Gaultier shows at fashion weeks in Paris and New York, and bootlegs of his set are distributed and purchased globally: in Paris, New York, and Barcelona, at a breakneck speed. The wonderful Swede with his cold Scandinavian energy and striking eccentricity is unparalleled. One should not believe such melodic, calming trip-hop, such cheerful disco beats, such sweet pop music. Behind this polished fairy tale, a hidden vice, a secret sin, a concealed evil certainly awaits. The usual sadness acquires a manic shade.
