Tore Johansson

Tore Johansson (born 6 November 1959) is a Swedish record producer, composer and musician based in Malmö, Sweden. Biography In an interview with HitQuarters, Johansson claimed that the main impetus for his becoming a music producer was the lack of good recording studios in the Malmö area at that time in which to record his own band. Untutored in the art of recording, he acquired his skills through “trial and error”. His main inspiration at that time was classic recordings from the 1960s and ’70s, and in fact attempted to capture an old style in a conscious reaction against the production methods employed at that time, which he and his friends thought were bad. More recently, Johansson prefers to write for or co-write with solo artists. Production work Johansson has gained particular international recognition through his production work with The Cardigans and Franz Ferdinand, but has also worked with a number of other recording artists such as: *a-ha *A Camp *Anouk *Nicole Atkins & the Sea *Mathieu Boogaerts *Melanie C *Eggstone *Sophie Ellis-Bextor *Tomoyo Harada *Mayumi Iizuka – Smile×Smile *Tom Jones *Kira and The Kindred Spirits *David Kitt *The Little Flames *The Mighty Roars *
