Jill Johnson

Jill Johnson is a renowned Swedish country and pop singer and songwriter, whose career has spanned more than two decades. Born in Ängelholm on May 24, 1973, Johnson first captured the hearts of her audience in her home country and quickly became one of Sweden's most prominent figures in country music. Her breakthrough came with her victory in the 1998 Melodifestivalen with the song "Kärleken är," which paved the way for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest the same year.

With a deep-rooted passion for the Nashville sound, Jill Johnson has consistently paid homage to the heart of country music throughout her career. Her involvement in the television program "Jills Veranda Nashville" has been a testament to this connection, wherein she hosts various Swedish musicians in Nashville, Tennessee, to explore their personal stories and the wider narrative of country music. The series not only showcases Johnson's distinctive vocals and storytelling through song but also demonstrates her skills as a host and a cultural bridge between Sweden and the heart of Americana. Alongside her television work, Johnson has an impressive discography that reflects her versatility as an artist, from the heartfelt "Santa Claus Baby" to the celebration of life in "Ja må hon leva," and the emotionally charged rendition of "Wicked Game." Her ability to craft songs that resonate with a universal audience while staying true to her country roots continues to cement her reputation as a leading figure in Sweden's music scene.
