Hi everybody!
My name is Lotta Johansson. I live in the town I was born and raised in. Härnösand, a beautiful little place right by the ocean in the north of Sweden.
Music has allways been a big part of my life, my dad has been making a living out of his music for about 30 years now and I've had the privelige to meet many fantastic musicians that have inspired me in so many ways.
I met my guitarist and good friend Annika Svedin in music school. We discovered that our voices really sounded great togheter, so we asked another friend, Lina Moberg, to join us and we started a little group called "Hon, Du & Jag" (She, you & me)
The group does no longer excist, but me and Annika still perform our music togheter and it's more fun than ever!
I love country/blugrass and folk music, but I listen to all kinds of music. I don't dislike any genre.. I don't listen to the genres, I listen to the music!
I hope you like my music and feel free to leave a comment, it's allways nice to hear what you think!
And thank you Johanta for introducing me to this wonderful site! I love thesixtyone.com :D
