Some things are easier to sing than to say.

Get to know me
The person behind the songs

My Story

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I wanted to be an electric guitarist, but I always loved singing. I wrote my first song when I was around fourteen. I learned guitar on my own, and years later, I started learning piano as an adult.

I don't read sheet music. I don't have a grand theory behind what I do. I play, I listen, I feel my way through it. Sometimes a song comes quickly. Sometimes it waits for years.

Beyond the music

The Man Behind the Music

I'm not always the person people see on a stream. Sometimes being me is difficult. I don't want to pretend otherwise.

“Be afraid and do it anyway.” I believe in those words, even on the days when I can't.

A gift that changed everything

The Piano Story

I started learning piano because the people who watched my streams came together and gave me one. What began as a gift became a whole new way of making music.

“I don't need every song to mean the same thing to you as it does to me. I just hope you feel something.”

Some songs are out in the world. Others are still finding their way there.

Behind the Songs

Imaginary Love

Written from my own experiences with addiction. I wrote it years before it became my first professional studio recording.

The Light In You

I wrote this for Linda. Singing it to her isn't always easy. Some words hit harder when the person they're meant for is right there.

LET ME FALL

This one was written to myself. It's about not having to be strong every minute of every day.

Norrland

There isn't a hidden meaning here. It's simply about loving the place I call home.

She

Everyone has a “She”. It might be a person, a place, or something else you love. For me, it's Linda.

More than a stream

Twitch & Community

I started streaming music on Twitch in 2022. Somewhere along the way, it became more than just playing songs. It's a place where we talk, laugh, make music and sometimes have conversations that aren't easy.

Through Your Eyes

Who is Johannes to you?

I know who I think I am. But I don't always know who other people see. One day, this will be a place where you can tell me, in your own words.

A little more personal

Why I Write Music

I write because sometimes something inside me needs somewhere to go. Not every song comes with an explanation. And not every song is ready to be heard.

Help bring the next songs to life

Adopt a Lyric

Soon, you'll be able to symbolically adopt a line from one of my songs and help fund a future studio recording. Every line will be available only once. You won't own the copyright, but you'll be part of that song's journey.

Coming soon. Adoption and payments are not active yet. Swish, card and PayPal are planned. No money can be sent through this page.
