You'll find pop-Americana artist Johanna playing guitar and singing her original songs at local listening rooms and music venues in Nashville, St. Louis, Austin TX, Colorado, Los Angeles, North Carolina, and more. Her energetic, unique style crosses over to Pop, Folk- Rock, Country, and Blue-eyed Soul and draws from diverse influences like Sheryl Crow, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, Michelle Branch, and The Goo Goo Dolls. Of Dutch, Indonesian, and Scottish descent, Johanna began her career at age 5, singing on her father's radio program in Boulder CO. She was soon taking on leading roles in musical productions and honing her skills onstage as a live performer. She recorded her first CD, followed that up with a live concert of her music, and studied at the Performing Arts Conservatory in Hollywood CA.
It is Johanna's goal to touch everyone with her art: “When I go to the movies or a concert I want to feel something, to relate, to have an experience and be truly moved. I love that feeling and my dream is to inspire and share and give that feeling and experience to everyone!” Johanna has completed recording and co-producing two EPs, Bending Hearts and Shadow, and has released an acoustic, unplugged EP of her music. Her latest album, Seeds, is now available online and on CD. Discover more about Johanna at her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jojowinks/
