Johan Testad

“Being one of my most important collaborators Johan is a master at creating simple melodies out of the intricate and sophisticated.” – Peter Grönlund, director

Johan Testad - composer and musician born in Solna, Stockholm now living in Tibble, a rural village in Dalarna.
Johan grew up surrounded by art and many different styles of music which have influenced the way he compose.
The contrast between the beauty of northern nature and the brutalism of old industrial surroundings is something which fascinates Johan and which he believes pervades a lot of his scores.

In 2019 he received the honorable Guldbagge (Sweden’s leading film awards) for the score to Goliat.
He was also nominated for the same score to the Harpa Awards in Berlin 2019.

Johen Testad's score for the TV-series Björnstad (Beartown) has also been nominated to the Harpa Awards in Berlin 2022.
