Life and career
Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Johansen is the son of Norwegian parents Egil Johansen, a jazz musician, and Ellen Böbak, a jazz singer.[1] He began his musical career as a drummer, but later chose to become a singer.[2][3]
Johansen won Melodifestivalen 1995 with the song "Se på mig", and represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995.[4] During the final in Dublin, he finished in third place, scoring a total of 100 points.[5] The song peaked at no. 1 on the Swedish Sverigetopplistan charts for a total of fifteen weeks.[6]
On February 23, 2001, Johansen competed in the final of Melodifestivalen 2001. He placed 4th with his song "Ingenmansland".[1] Later that year, it was announced that Johansen would be competing in Melodifestivalen 2002 with the song "Sista andetaget".[7] After qualifying to the final through the Winners' Choice round, he finished in 7th place.[8][9]
In 2003, in collaboration with Pernilla Wahlgren, Johansen competed in Melodifestivalen for a third consecutive year with the song "Let Your Spirit Fly".[1] The song qualified from the first semi-final, later placing second in the final behind Fame.[10]
In 2013, Johansen published his autobiography, Med nya ögon, in collaboration with Colette van Luik.[2]
Alongside Linnea Henriksson, he performed his song "Se på mig" during the interval of the first semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2020.[11] Whilst preparing for his performance, Johansen entered negotiations with Sveriges Television (SVT) to perform the competing entry "Miraklernas tid", as the original artist, Thorsten Flinck, was disqualified from the competition.[12] On 3 February, it was confirmed that Johansen would compete in the contest.[13] He was eliminated in the second semi-final, finishing in last place with a total of 8 points.[14]
In 2021, Johansen was elected into the Melodifestivalen Hall of Fame.[15] After the coronavirus pandemic cancelled Johansen's gigs, including an anniversary concert at the Vasateatern, he started working as a substitute teacher of music at Vattmyraskolan in Järfälla.[16]
