Another 128DJ exclusive interview, this time DJ / Producer Björn Johnsson AKA John De Sohn! He has released some absolute BOMBS which have hit the speakers under the hands of the biggest star dj’s on the planet like Tiesto, Erick Morillo and Avicii to name a few...For those who don’t know you, can you give a little background information about yourself?
"I am 26 years old, grew up in Southern Sweden. I started mixing on the computer when I was 14 years old, but quickly went out on nightclubs after a couple of years. I moved to the capital of Sweden a few years ago and started producing my own music."
How old were you when you got your first gig? And where was it?
"I was about 16 years old when I started playing out on the bigger clubs. Pretty fun because I had not come in as a guest."
Which venues have you played at and which is your favourite?
"I have visited over 100 diffrent nightclubs over the past years. I don´t really know wich one´s the best. About a month ago I almost missed a gig in Copenhagen. The club gave me a huge dinner that ended with a chocolate chock. Afterwards I felt sick at the hotel and could´t move. But the club Karel van Mander in Copenhagen was a great night club due to the atmosphere."
Plans for the future?
"I started out as John de Sohn this year and everything is going very fast right now.
I have big plans for the future. I have a lot of things coming out. My new single Find your own way ft Miss Selia is starting to get recognized. I´ve got support from names like Avicii, Tiesto, Markus Shulz, TV Rock and Swanky Tunes."
Who are your main musical influences?
"I started to listen to Daft Punk, Kratwerk and also Tiesto in a early age. Later in life, I really got respect for Axwell productions."
