Platinum selling Jill Johnson is one of Sweden’s most beloved artists and has during the years truly put country music and Nashville on the Swedish music map – through her own studio albums, where she’s collaborated with several of USA’s most prominent songwriters and artists within the genre, as well as through her critically acclaimed and sold out tours.
