I´m a singer/songwriter, plays guitar.

Lately it´s been a constant travelling around to do gigs, solo and in bands.
A highlight so far is me playing in front of nearly one million people in Swedish national television!! That was something extraordinary..

Why this name?
Born with it..!!
Do you play live?
Yes, as often as I can!
There´s nothin´ better than playin´ in front of an audience that likes the music from my heart & soul.. A great feeling!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It will do wonders, really!! A chance for us little people to make our music heard by larger audiences!!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That´s what I´m waiting for.. Just call me!!
There´s some interest.. I´m hopeful..
Band History:
I´m on my own now.. Sometimes I ask my friends to join me and form the band Heart & Soul..!!

I keep my music acoustic, the sound of these instruments warms my soul!!
Your influences?
A whole bunch of people, for example: Eric Bibb, Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, Kelly Joe Phelps, and of course all of the old bluesmasters!
Even David Coverdale from White Snake!! Love his voice!!
Favorite spot?
Somewhere by a lake or the sea! I love water!
Equipment used:
I mostly go for the acoustic sound! A broad variety of acoustics makes the sound of my songs!!

I have recorded all tracks in my own studio, a nice little thing with a 16 track tape recorder!!
Works great and sounds genuine..!!
Anything else...?
Some words said about me in the press:

"Emotional and bare with Johan Eliasson." (Länstidningen)

"Eliasson has a colourfull and emotional voice, like a smooth bourgogne with a certain roughness. " (LT)

"His greatest power lies within his nuanced voice. " (LT)

"With the right musicians around him, Eliasson will go far! Heart and soul is in his music." (Östersunds Posten)
