Johan Johansson has had at least three separate careers: as singer in one of Sweden's most popular punk bands, as producer of punk and singer/songwriter artists, and in the '90s as a singer/songwriter himself.
During the late '80s and early '90s, Johansson didn't release any albums, but put together a couple of punk compilations, worked as session musician and producer, toured with friends, and played small acoustic sets on his own, until he in 1993 decided to release his solo debut Flum.
The coming years saw a revival for Johan Johansson as an artist, but this time he was regarded as a singer/songwriter rather than a punk or pop singer.

A successful kartist, winner of the 1979 British F3 championship and an F1 pacesetter, Johansson was quick, brave and obviously talented.He was also immensely unlucky and, despite spells with Ferrari and McLaren, he never quite got it together for long enough to adore that elusive F1 victory.
Just when it seemed as through he was poised on the threshold of success, the lack of a tyre contract prompted Toleman to shelve their programme.
Stefan then picked up the prestigious number two McLaren ride alongside Alain Prost for 1987, but this was just a question of keeping the seat warm for Ayrton Senna who duly succeeded him in 1988.
