Per 'Texas' Johansson

Swedish jazz musician (woodwind instruments) and anaesthetic nurse, born on March 18, 1969 in Solna, Uppland. Per 'Texas' Johansson grew up in Södertälje, Södermanland where he started playing clarinet early, but has later also continued exploring and performing with more of the woodwind group of instruments as well. During 1990s, he released several critically acclaimed jazz albums but had also made a trip to Tanzania in Africa. On this trip, he met a Norwegian male nurse by chance and they started talking and became acquaited to each other. Their talks there would have a big impact on him afterwards. So, around 2000 and back in Sweden, he had sent in his application to and became also enrolled at The Swedish Red Cross University in Stockholm. After finished education there as nurse, he worked first at the emergency departments at Södertälje and Huddinge hospitals, and, after some more education, also as anaesthetic nurse at Huddinge hospital, from 2003 to 2016. In 2015, his new album 'De Långa Rulltrapporna I Flemingsberg' was released. A title alluding to the escalators he had to stand on every morning, for a long time, before reaching his work place at Huddinge hospital in Flemingsberg. During the years at Huddinge hospital, he had been musician at 20 percent and employed anaesthetic nurse at 80 percent of full time. But, his work in the hospital stopped, after having so many more booked concerts after the release of this new album, and he then chose the music before the hospital and went back being a band leader again. Per 'Texas' Johansson and the artist [a749906] are not married yet, but they have lived together as a couple in the Greater Stockholm Metropolitan Area since the late 1990s.
