I’d like to thank
you for stopping by my web site and for
taking the time to learn a bit more
about myself and about my music.
I am amazed and overwhelmed by the
positive feedback and the incredible
response my solo Album “Good Life”
has received up till now.
The creative process of making this
album has been quite a journey for me
and when I look back at all the rough
ideas, the initial scribbles, the
numerous melodies logged on my answering
machine, it feels amazing to finally
have it in my hands.
At the end of it all I can honestly say
that I am extremely proud of this CD and
I really hope you will enjoy it!

October 2011
Not sure what happened or how we can
possibly be in October already?
October is my birth-month and it always
feels like this is the start of “my” new
year.
My summer was amazing and I
enjoyed all the shows in Europe very
much. I want to thank Ilona Damiecka
(Piano) and Piotr Lemanczyk (Bass) for
bringing me to sing in Poland for the
first time as well as Hans Wetterberg
for once again inviting me to sing in
the beautiful Swedish capital city
“Stockholm”.
My third solo CD
featuring Canadian Jazz trumpeter Brad
Turner is gearing up for it’s 2012
release. I am in the process of planning
my CD release tour so please check back
on the dates soon. I am very excited
about this tour and I will have an
amazing band with me consisting of some
of Canada’s best instrumentalists Chris
Andrew (Keys) Kodi Hutchinson (Bass),
Tyler Hornby (Drums) and Aaron Young
(Guitar).
July 2011
“Summertime and the living is easy”
The countdown begins as I leave for
Europe in a few weeks. I am excited to
play with an amazing group of musicians
in Poland lead by Jazz Pianist Ilona
Damięcka.
I am also making yet
another couple appearances with the
“Swedish Jazz Band” in Stockholm,
Sweden. Please check the performance
listings for more detailed information!
Have a wonderful summer:)

It’s Finally Spring
in Alberta!! ( which may only last a
week, so you better enjoy it)
This month brings me to New York City
and I’m very excited to take in the
scene and shake hands with my fellow
musicians and vocalists there.
Then after that, I come back here to
Calgary and finish up the last little
bit of mixing of my new CD. I know I’ve
been teasing with it for a few months
now but it will be worth the wait! I’ll
keep you posted, promise:)
April 2011
Here we are and
it's already April 2011 and I can't help
but wonder what happened to the first
quarter of this year? As many of you
know, i live in Calgary, Canada and this
winter, let me tell you has been long
and hard. I consider myself a seasoned
winterian but even I buckled this year:(
Needless to say I am
very much looking forward to spring and
since it will be time for the release of
my new solo album "Make of Me". The
album has been produced and recorded
here in Calgary with a few fine guest
artists that i won't reveal quite yet. I
am very happy with the final product and
will promise to have to you ASAP!
Check back soon for
more update and MAYBE a sneak peek of a
track or two!

I had the pleasure to
play with so many great musicians this
summer here in Canada as well as in
Europe.

October - November 2009
Hi Friends!
Winter is here very
early this year and I’m gearing up to go
back in the studio and record another
album. (Most likely it will happen in
the very early part of the New Year)
The snow and grey skies make for
“the” perfect time to be creative, so I
will for sure take advantage of it and
try to write as much as possible since
going outside isn’t all that appealing
right now.
As for “Sillan &
Young”, our recently recorded EPK is
ready to view on my “video” page, please
check it out and let me know what you
think! A special big thank you to
Cameron Smith, The fantastic camera crew
as well as our live audience!
August - September 2009
I’m back in Canada after spending most
of the summer in Europe with the perfect
ratio of work and vacation! One of
many highlights was performing in my
hometown Borås, Sweden. It had been many
years since I last set foot on that
stage and on this particular summer
night the weather gods were on my side
and brought me a record-breaking
audience. So with that being said, Thank
you Borås!
I also very recently
had the opportunity to be part of a Live
Music Video produced by the one and only
Cameron Smith. The video will be posted
here on my website very soon, so hang
tight and check back on that one, it
will be good!
May - June 2009
Greeting Fans and Friends!
The never-ending Alberta winter seems
like it’s come to an end and I’m very
much looking forward to the summer
season.
There are lots of new and
exciting things coming up this summer
including a US tour in the California
area with my group Sillan & Young.
http://www.sillanyoung.com
A
special ‘shout out’ goes to Cameron
Smith at My Jazz network who has offered
us a great amount of support. If you

community, please go to

So to all my US music fans, I hope to
see you come out to the shows!

July 2008
I
can’t even begin to describe what an
amazing month I’ve experienced, but I’ll
try my best to sum up the highlights for
you!
I had the great pleasure of
playing a show with the Norwegian group
“Beady Belle’ during the Calgary Jazz
festival this June. I’ve been a fan of
the group for a number of years now and
it was amazing to meet them & to hear
them live.
The following morning
my band and I headed out on a very early
flight to go play at the ‘Montreal Jazz
festival’. This turned out to be one of
the most amazing experiences in my life
and definitely a highlight in my
performance history! The festival was
beautiful, the whether was perfect and
the audience stretched as far as my eyes
could reach in all directions. I feel so
blessed to have had this opportunity and
I will never forget this night!
I
want to thank all of you who came out to
the show and bought the CD’s!
A
big thank you goes out to the hard
working staff at the “Best Buy’ tent as
well the organizers and volunteers of
the festival. Last but not least a
‘HUGE’ thank you to ‘G and crew’ for
doing an incredible job on the
promotional end of things!
Click

from the show that was posted on You
Tube.com!

the Calgary Herald, see below as well as

Greetings from the Maritimes!!
If you are not familiar with the area
I’m referring to the very beautiful east
coast of Canada. I am here with my band
‘Sillan & Young’ and we
are getting ready to play at the
Halifax & St John’s Jazz Festivals,
it’s hot & humid and it’s wonderful to
be close to the ocean again. I am a BIG
seafood lover and I’m definitely in my
‘happy place’ here.
After this tour I am heading over to
London, UK & Sweden for a few weeks and
after that to Montreal for a show with
‘ UNCOVERED’.
It’s going to
be a great summer of music and
traveling and I’ll fill you all
in on the events as I go.
I have as of recently taken on
another ‘Gig’ as a radio host
for radio station California
103.1, based out of Calgary,
Alberta. I am hosting a live
music show called ‘IN STUDIO’
along with fellow vocalist Kathy Shane. Our show will be broadcast
every Sunday night from 6-8pm.
For more information on the show
and if you’d like to have your
music showcased on our show

Today was the first official recording
session for my Christmas album and it
went amazing. Although it’s a bit odd to
be singing about snow and mistletoe in
the midst of summer but I can’t wait to
have it all done for you soon.
My summer is going to very busy and I
will keep you posted on the upcoming
events as they happen. I will be making
my first trip out to the ‘very’ east
coast of Canada. I’ve been told
that it will remind me of my home
country Sweden and since I will not be
able to travel to back home this year,
this will be a great experience.
Have a wonderful month and I’ll
talk to you soon!

April 2007
I’m
writing this little monthly summary from
Edmonton as I’m here for a one-night
show at the ‘Yard-bird suite’ in
celebration of their 50th anniversary. I
know this may not sound like a lot to
you Europeans who check in on my site
from time to time, but in a province
that’s only 100 years old, a 50 year old
“anything” is worth celebrating.
Anyways, on the recording front, I’m
keeping busy with preparing for the
recording of my Christmas album and
lucky for me there is still plenty of
snow on the ground.
I also recently recorded a version of
‘Human Nature’ for my friend Sandro
Dominelli’s latest disc called
‘Passages’. You can Check out Sandro’s
website and music at the following link:

Its kind of
funny to sit here in the month writing
Christmas music…yes that’s right
Christmas music!!!
(Luckily, it’s still very much winter
here in Calgary)
Well friends, I’m excited to announce
that I will finally be recording a
Christmas CD with my song-writing
partner & pianist Chris Andrew. This is
a project the two of us have wanted to
do for a looooooong time, but with our
crazy schedules and with being located
in different cities it has never been
possible until now!
We are going to be combining some
holiday traditionals with some of our
own original works (they are in the
making as I write this). This is the
first time I’ve written Christmas
material and it’s both fun and
challenging, and by the way, if you do
have suggestions on songs we should
cover that aren’t your typical “Rudolf
the red-nosed reindeer’, please email
me, I’d love to hear from you!
As for my band Sillan & Young’s
upcoming CD the release date, it has
been moved to June 2nd but will be worth
the wait…I promise!
February 2007
Winter
is here in all its glory and it’s a
productive time for ‘song writing’! It’s
to cold to go out and get distracted, so
lots of time for creating new-music! My
band ‘Sillan & Young’
is getting ready to release our new CD
in a few months, so the new
cold-inspired inspiration comes in handy
in the finishing stages. I am very
excited, the tracks are sounding great,
if you are new to this other project of
mine, please check us it at
http://www.sillanyoung.com
I also finally had a moment to sit down
and get my long overdue ‘My Space’ page
up and running! If you’d like to check
it out, please do so at
http://www.myspace.com/johannasillanpaa
As for my solo Album ‘Good Life’,
I had another interview/review published
on the American ‘Jazz police’ website.
This is a website that gets about 100,00
hits per month…so go ‘Good life’ go! If

definitely flying and sometimes even
running for the months of November &
December.
This year I’m starting of the New Year

tracks are sounding amazing and I am
very excited to be touring this new
repertoire this coming summer. Anyways,
I’ll keep you posted on what happens
with everything, but for now, I’m off to
enjoy a day OFF in sunny Toronto!!
Stay Sweet!

I am writing you this little update
from the beautiful city of Montréal,

some time this summer. It sure has been
a busy couple of months of traveling and
performing and trust me when I say that
I have enjoyed every minute of it!
My group ‘Sillan & Young’ just
completed a little Canadian West coast
tour and had the chance to take in some
great music and great weather! We spent
a wonderful weekend playing at the
incredible Victoria Jazz Festival,
where we also had the pleasure to play
with the fabulous Jazz pianist Mr. Kenny
Werner, what a treat that was!
As for the ‘Good Life’ project, I
continue working on getting it out
there! I was recently featured in an
website interview with French music
reviewer Eric Boisson http://www.ericnroll.com

Also, another exciting update, I will be
going back home to Sweden very
shortly, "Borås" here i come! So,
with that being said, i apologize for my
absence gig-wise here in Canada for the
next month, but it's time to spread
the "Good Life" lessons
elsewhere! See you soon!
To My Fans and Supporters,
Thank you for showing me so much support and love!
For all of you who made it out to my CD
release launch on April 21, the
evening was a success because of you and
I am very greatful! To have a full
house on a "Hockey Play Off" night in
Calgary is something a girl doesn't
take for granted, so again, THANK
YOU!!!
“Good Life” is now available for
purchase online at
CD BABY as well as digitally on
ITUNES.
The song ‘One the Other side’ had
a recent UK & US Radio debut on
Steve Quirk’s smooth jazz radio show
Smooth FM. Radio presenter
Steve Quirk from the UK jumped on
the CD right away and has been playing
it on his Fusion Flavours show in the UK
as well as across Europe on Smooth FM
(www.smoothfm.com)
Steve aired the track "On the other
side" on his syndicated US radio show on
Sunday February 26th 2006 with instant
response.
Here’s what Steve Quirk had to
say about “Good Life”
-"As soon as I discovered the
CD, It was a joy, I loved it!
It has a bluesy Erika Badu meets
Billy Holliday groove and Johanna's
voice is silky, classy, sexy and
sophisticated. The outstanding
tracks on the CD for me are, the
mellow "Sometimes", the funky
"Suck it up" the groovy
"Hush" and the floater "My oh
my". The two big tracks that I
see having "massive potential"
across radio are, the beautiful and
sublime "Thank you", and the
excellent "On the other side".
Both have that class and
sophistication of Norah Jones tune
and potential to be HUGE!"
