Jay Jay Johansson

Jay Jay Johansson , of his true name Jäje Johansson , is a Auteur-compositeur-interprète Swedish.

One can define it as being a Crooner, a Dandy. Its music is with difficulty classifiable, it leaves the Jazz, passes by the Trip-hop and arrives at the Dance-floor in particular on its last but one album Rush . Many arrangements use electronic sounds, in particular the rhythmic parts. Its voice particular, acute and cherishing, Androgyne, envoûtante, emphasize perfectly its texts melancholic persons, of a major sadness.

Its texts are in English, never in Swedish. He calls sometimes upon the French language in his Chanson S ( Which Damage , for example), and on several occasions an young woman comes to pronounce words in perfect French, as on the songs Jay Jay Johansson or Already-considering .

Biography

Jäje Johansson was born in 1969 with Trollätten (Sweden). He grows in the town of Skara, where he puts himself very early at the music by listening to Hard rock and by melting, at 10 years, a group of Punk (May Tuck). He learns at the same time the Clarinette and the Saxophone, and does not cease composing.

At 15 years, he discovers the Jazz, whose his/her father one is impassioned. This discovery will influence much its future compositions. Hesitating, thinking of making music a leisure, being tested being studied of Architecture, it ends up studying the Modern art with Stockholm during 4 years, and develops its musical creativity.

It ends up leaving the Quartet jazz of which it formed part, and starts to compose with a Boîte at rates/rhythms and a Synthétiseur. In 94, he discovers the album Dummy of Portishead, and is interested in their Trip-hop mixing the harmonies with the jazz with the rhythmic with the Hip-hop. He starts to think of composing a album, with the invaluable assistance of sound comparse Erik Janson.

He was contacted by BMG into 96 then recorded its first album. He will not cease writing Chanson S in loneliness, and leaves album after album, his unceasingly evolving/moving style, sometimes electronics, sometimes song, sometimes jazz…
