 Jay-Jay Johanson is a singer-songwriter whose work over the last 20 years is characterised by his distinctive vocals. Johanson was influenced by the 1990s Bristol trip-hop movement, and has also incorporated diverse influences including electroclash, jazz and experimental electronic influences into 10 studio albums, from Whiskey (1996) to Opium (2015). His work has had particular commercial success in France, and he has also collaborated with German experimental group Funkstörung and Swedish pop band The Knife. For those not previously au fait with his work, Johanson melds sultry and bass groove-driven electronica to a smooth lead vocal. While this has led to him being described as "the great crooner of the electronica era", this should not imply any lack of depth - these are gloriously creative songs.
