I was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, May 25, 1962. I started to play piano at eight, but switched to drums at age 14. Went through electronics engineering school 1979-82. Did a mandatory year in the Swedish Navy 1982-83. Moved to USA in 1984 to join Yngwie's band. After five albums and world tours with Yngwie, I moved on in 1989 to work as a studio and touring musician. Since then, I have recorded and toured with an array of bands and artists as well as recorded albums under my own name and together with brother Jens. I am also is involved running the record label Heptagon Records that mainly releases reissue recordings of my late father Jan Johansson, who was a prolific musician in the sixties and who is still an everyday name in Sweden. Here is an un-official discography where a lot of the session work is listed: http://home.online.no/~n-johano/AJohansson.htm
