About

Mads Mathias (born Juul Johansson, 1981, Silkeborg) is a Danish jazz singer, saxophonist and songwriter widely regarded as Denmark's leading male jazz vocalist. He works in the crooner tradition - Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett are touchstones - but writes his own material and brings a distinctly Nordic sensibility to the genre. His career spans two sold-out UK tours, performances at the Royal Albert Hall and the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing, and awards including the Leo Mathisen Prize and the Svend Asmussen Prize. A car accident at 17 cost him three fingers and pushed him toward singing; today he does both.
