Johan Boberg was born in Stockholm, Sweden 1971. He started out as a jazz bass player, but after hearing the music of Olivier Messiaen and Karlheinz Stockhausen he started composing contemporary classical music, gradually taking steps towards electro-acoustic music. By 2001 he had switched entirely to electronics. The same year he attended the Stockhausen Courses for New Music in Kürten near Cologne in Germany. Since then he has followed a straight line towards finding his own voice. Soon he started performing live electronic music as well as producing pure studio creations.
His music has been performed regularly in Sweden at Fylkingen, Kulturhuset, Museum of Modern Art and many other places. Internationally throughout Europe.

Johan Boberg was the chairman of the composers society at EMS 2004-2006. He was a member of the artistic advisory board at EMS 2005-2007 and is currently a board member of the Fylkingen society for experimental music and arts. As an author he has written articles for the Swedish magazine for contemporary music - Nutida Musik.
