"We started out as a trio playing "Top 10" songs, instrumental. Later we were joined by two female vocalists and we played all the local clubs. During that time, Kiss was my main musical inspiration. I listened to heavy stuff but couldnīt find musicians who wanted to play that kind of music. I had a huge drumkit, which I always insisted to bring."As he grew older Johansson started to play in a fusionband. They played pretty difficult stuff and Johansson learned much from that time.
"He tought me a lot about drumming and also opened my ears to other styles of music like jazz & latin.In 1995 I moved to Stockholm and since then Iīve been working as a session drummer."Even though Johansson has been playing all kinds of music he has always kept listening to heavy metal. In 1997 Johansson met Christian Liljegren, lead vocalist of Narnia. He was looking for a new drummer and after auditioning Johansson joined the band.
