Johnny John John

Johnny John John is a Swedish rapper who represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Edinburgh with the song Coolin' With Da Homies. He performed in the first semi-final and qualified to the final.

He is a parody of pop-rap acts seen in Sweden’s major Melodiefestivalen show, whose winner becomes Sweden’s Eurovision entry, such as Samir and Viktor, and also parodies earlier Eurovision rap entries, such as the British entry from 1995, the eponymous Love City Groove, and the country’s 2006 entrant Daz Sampson, even though, since 2017, rap entries have predominately became a preserve of singer-songwriters, such as from Hungary’s Joci Papai in 2017, Czech Republic’s Mikolas Josef in 2018, Armenia’s Athena Manoukian, who had won her country’s national selection for the real life 2020 contest before its cancellation, and Manizha of Russia in 2021.
