    Musical and instrument genius Tommy Johansson born on 26 October, 1987 in Boden, Sweden started playing guitar when he was 9 years old. Tommy started his first band, Guranerna, when he was 13 years old.
    In 2004, ReinXeed was founded, which became the real starting point in Tommy's musical career. ReinXeed has toured in Sweden, but fanbases are mainly found abroad; in India, Japan, Indonesia, Holland and the USA. In 2009 Johansson was karaoke music champion in Sweden. Tommy Johansson is a Christian and a musical prodigy who seems to basically master all instruments and all songs from all genres.
    He has recorded three albums with Christian melodic neoclassical power metal bands. In 2008, Majestica started as a project, which later became the new band. In 2011, he performed together with Måns Zelmerlöw at Allsång at Skansen with his own song "The Look." In 2016, Johansson joined Sabaton as guitarist and replaced Thobbe Englund. Tommy is a (multi-talented) multi-instrumentalist who really put his heart and soul into his music career. He is a singer and songwriter. He does all the work on his covers himself - instrumentalist, vocal harmonies, mixing, mastering, video editing. His girlfriend only helps him with filming sometimes. His ambition is to release a new song every Friday every week. He also belongs to the lucky few who can make a living from music. Since last November, he has been living his dream.

    Tommy plays guitar, bass, keyboard/piano, drums and those are just the instruments I know he can play. In these videos you can see him playing the drums: Thunder Rising (Gary Moore cover 2011) and with The Lost Rockers 2012: Afterlife and All The Broken. He plays bass in his Helloween cover 2022: Eagle Fly Free and his Gary Moore cover: Empty Rooms from november 4, 2022 🤘

    You made a very on-point remark during this video. About one year ago when I first heard Amazing Grace by Dan Vasc , it completely changed my opinion about Metal Music. Back when we began to hear more and more Metal on MTV in the early 80's, I was a very busy mom with two kids and a very loud husband. Whenever the screaming metal singers would come on it sounded like just more noise and I had plenty of noise in my house without these guys on T.V. adding to it. I was raised with musi d.c in the home and sang in choirs from 4th grade u nk til grsduation

    The show must go on
    Who want’s to live forever

    Continuing.... sorry. I was angry they were classifying Metal as Music and I would NOT listen to it ever. But when I heard Dan 's incredible voice I was shocked and knew I had to see what was going on. Turns out that I was wrong and thst metsl singrrs have to trsin their voices to sing that wsy. Many of them sang in church growing up and also sing opera. It opened up a whole new thrilling exploration of metal music, and it has been a joy, New to Tommy but, so far he is killing every song and what a range he has ! Dan and Tommy are very diffetent but have a lot of mutual opinions on things. Really looking forward to tryimg cv to keep up with these two going forward .

    I am a huge top acapella groups fan but there are several vocalists that stand out in other genres.
    Haley Reinhart w post modern jukebox doing Creep or 7 nation army covers does jazz of Ella Fitzgerald quality.
    Diana Ankudinova has one of the most rare and shocking voices on earth for its timbre. Her Elvis cover of Can't help falling in love is soul penetrating (I'm not exaggerating)

    I'm not the biggest fan of hard metal, but I'll listen to Tommy Johansson singing solo any time. A lot of metal singers have far more vocal ability than we generally get to hear (not that singing in vocal fry for a full concert without killing one's vocal chords isn't a major skill). It's like Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence. I think a lot of people were shocked by David Draiman's range and ability to sing clean as well as with the fry added (with vibrato which apparently is not easy to do).
