Jay-Jay Johanson - Raphaële Germser

"le songwriter scandinave sculpte sa pop mélancolique aux arrangements raffinés, partageant sa poésie tourmentée avec sa voix suave caressante et ses rythmiques trip-hop"

He has been voted "the most handsome man in the world" and dubbed "the digital crooner": Swedish artist Jäje Johansson (better known by his stage name Jay-Jay Johanson) is known for his melancholy electronic songs, the sounds of which have continued to evolve throughout his career.

Jay-Jay began composing at an early age, but it wasn't until August 1996 that his debut album, Whiskey, was released. The immediate success of the album, characterised by jazzy vocals over trip hop rhythms, backed by film noir arrangements, enabled Jay-Jay to embark on the first of his many world tours.

27 years later, after many diverse and varied albums and numerous collaborations with artists such as Robin Guthrie and The Cocteau Twins, Jay-Jay released his 14th album "FETISH" in 2023 and embarked on a new world tour. "FETISH" is a little jewel of romantic melancholy that only Jay-Jay has the secret to: airy, melancholy and with a cinematic atmosphere, the album feels like a return to his roots.
