Andreas “Habo” Johansson was born in 1973 in Västervik, Sweden. At the age of 3 he moved to Habo where he spent his youth and developed his musical interests. He grew up in a musical family and got his first drum kit at the age of 7 - since then he has been banging his drums relentlessly. Andreas started to take drum lessons at 10 and formed, short thereafter, his first band. At 16 he got more serious with his drumming, started doing more professional sessions and finally decided to go for a music career: in ‘94 he moved to Stockholm and since then he’s been working as a session drummer/percussionist for many of Sweden’s most famous artists.

His passion for metal music has been following since he heard Kiss for the first time in his early teens. Being a member of the band Narnia, he has also worked as a session drummer for Rob Rock and Divine Fire. Recording with Swedish rock guitarist Marcus Jidell’s (Avatarium) solo album led him to getting in contact with Danish melodic power rock band Royal Hunt in 2007 and Habo joined the band in 2015.
