The house he lived in was beautiful, filled with love and care, and it was here that John was shaped into the musician he is today. Far from the music industry and big stages, John found his voice in the quiet, surrounded by nature and a supportive family.<\/p>\n<p>John\u2019s journey took a turn when his aunt\u2019s boyfriend\u2014a lifelong music industry professional\u2014heard him singing and playing in his room. Completely taken by John\u2019s voice and talent, he told him:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You can\u2019t sit here, in the middle of the woods, with a voice like this, your songs, and the talent you obviously have! Let me help you share it. The world needs your music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And so, the journey began. After a series of gigs and early studio recordings, John started collaborating with Alex Hellid of Entombed, marking the beginning of his relationship with Threeman Recordings.<\/p>\n<p>The debut single, \u201cWild Mountain Thyme,\u201d was recorded at <strong>Riksmixningsverket (RMV) Studio<\/strong> on Skeppsholmen island in Stockholm. Co-produced, recorded, and mixed by Linn Fijal, with production by Alex Hellid, the song was given a rich sound that balances folk tradition with a contemporary touch. The final mastering was completed by Frida Claeson-Johansson at <strong>Svenska Grammofonstudion Mastering Berlin<\/strong>, located within the iconic Hansa building in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Two more singles are set for release, leading up to the full album, <em>OIIIIO<\/em>, scheduled for Record Store Day on April 19, 2025. The album will be available in both digital and physical formats, bringing John\u2019s unique sound to audiences far beyond his quiet beginnings in rural Sweden.<\/p>\n<h4>Management &amp; Booking<\/h4>\n<p>Micke Sahlin<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:contact@morethanjohn.com\">contact@morethanjohn.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:+46705196807\">+46(0)705-196807<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Label<\/h4>\n<p>Threeman Recordings<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:publicity@threeman.se\">publicity@threeman.se<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Website<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">morethanjohn.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Socials<\/h4>\n<p>Follow MORE THAN JOHN on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube<br \/>\n<strong>@morethanjohnsweden<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MORE THAN JOHN New Single Out Now: &#8220;Go Anywhere&#8221; Experience the first original single from MORE THAN JOHN&#8217;s debut album, arriving April 2025. \ud83c\udfa7 Listen Now About the Track MORE THAN JOHN, the enigmatic artist known for introspective and anthemic soundscapes, captivates once again with &#8220;Go Anywhere.&#8221; Written and performed by John Engdahl (aka MORE&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">More Than John<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"pages\/page_start.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":50,"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68,"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions\/68"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/morethanjohn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
