Juhana Iivonen is a Finnish singer - songwriter. From 2009 he has been working with his solo material, recording and touring in Finland and other European countries as an indie singer - songwriter. His self-titled debut album was recorded in peaceful countryside studio with guitarist and producer Aki Haarala. This bunch of folky tunes leans pretty much to 60`s and 70`s songwriter tradition also with it analogue recording techniques but still including a lot modern flavors with some pop feeling in it.

2010 there was much co-working with Italian singer - songwriter Gipsy Rufina and the year ends with a beatiful warm sounding split record Madam Fortuna. The Father of an idea and a producer/engineer/mixer was Belgium Peter Boodts who led the sessions in atmospheric project studio in rebuilt old horse stable at Bourgerouth, Antwerpen.

During 2011 touring was more intensive and also new material started to bubbling under. 2012 Juhana gathered few musicians together to record a new album during the summer. Also this record was recorded by Peter Boodts. This - Native One - album (released by Smiling Lizard Music) includes songs with full band and also acoustic live takes.

2014 was time for 2 released records, Live in Weimar - 8 songs live recording recorded in club Kasseturm in Weimar by Arne Lakenmacher and also split EP with English bluesmusician and songwriter Tim Holehouse. Songs in this EP Juhana dedicates to the memory of his past very good friend Petri.

New project started in October 2015 when Juhana took with him for two weeks tour guitarist Aki Haarala and recording engineer Peter Boodts. Idea was to record new songs on the road, in concerts, soundchecks, hotelrooms, where ever. Result of this project is live record October In Hamburg, which includes 15 songs recorded in 24 hours in hotel room at St.Pauli and Music Star Club in Norderstedt.

Still the core of the music of Juhana Iivonen is his live performances. During the years and hundreds of club gigs, festival performances and house shows has deepened his ability to bring his intimate songs to people, and create unique and warm atmospere where ever he steps on the stage. Touring and recording goes on, Stay Tuned.
