Bo Johnson

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I started to play the piano at the age of around 7. Then when I was about 14 years old, I saved up money through various jobs to later be able to buy my first Music Workstation Synthesizer - the KORG N364! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Coldplay, Parachutes Luke Combs, What You See Is What You Get Snoop Dogg, Doggystyle Snoop's "Doggystyle" because I loved it from day 1 and I grew up with the westcoast rap sound. Coldplay's "Parachutes" since it really introduced me to the band Coldplay who are still my top 3 favorites. And any album of Luke Combs really! Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “When Dragons Cry” Since this was actually one of my first releases ever, and it still holds its position as many people's favorite all around the world! It never loses attention, year after year after year. And I wrote the music & lyrics in a dark period of my life. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When my album "The Rise" got real recognition and love, with e.g. a GRAMMY consideration for Best Dance/Electronic Album. I worked hard on that album for about 6 years, put my very soul in it and I'm very proud of what it turned out to become. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I've always had to turn down any and all opportunities for bigger live shows and gigs, since I always prioritized my son and my daughter, being at home and raise them. But now when they're almost grown ups, I'd love to get a chance of playing at UMF!
