Johan is an enthusiastic young pianist who loves performing and sharing music with others, something he demonstrated during his recent performance at Carnegie Hall. He enjoys improvising and creating his own twists on the classical music he loves, especially pieces by Mozart and Chopin. Recently, he discovered the music of Bach and has become fascinated by it. He has also started playing the trombone in his school brass band. Outside of music, Johan enjoys all things history, as well as playing and watching football (soccer) and competing in table tennis.
