Early life and influences
Born in Malmö, Sweden, Cederberg’s family relocated to Stockholm when he was five years old. Growing up in Stockholm, Cederberg began listening to hip-hop, namely Swedish acts, but also American artists such as De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. In his youth, he also cultivated an interest in electronic musicians such as Four Tet and Manitoba. Cederberg also cites American minimalist composer, Steve Reich, as a primary influence. One of his first releases incorporated samples from a recording of Steve Reich’s “Nagoya Marimbas”.
As producer and DJ (2011-present)
HNNY’s releases are often accompanied by illustrations of A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh, a symbol the artist calls his hallmark. In 2011, HNNY released his edit of Mariah Carey’s “I Want To Know What Love Is” to mixed reviews. In 2012, he was signed by Local Talk for a debut EP. The title track of his first EP, For The Very First Time, features a vocal sample from Leona Lewis’s “Bleeding Love”. In 2013, HNNY performed a live DJ set for Boiler Room Stockholm at a Red Bull Music Academy sponsored Axel Boman album release party. The set has been viewed on YouTube over 320,000 times.
HNNY continues to update his SoundCloud page with new releases and a mix series entitled Music for Listening. In 2015, HNNY was featured on Vice's Noisey You Have To Hear This series. In the segment, Cederberg constructs a track from sampling the city sounds of his hometown, Stockholm.
On the 26th of February, 2016, HNNY was supposed to perform at Percolate's Disco Party, Oval Space, London, but canceled last minute due to 'personal health issues'. There were still gigs planned in the UK, Ireland and France but all have been canceled. Multiple reports have been done saying Johan Cederberg (HNNY) is either giving up on DJ'ing for the upcoming 12 months or giving it up all together (by Resident Advisor). Hopefully he gets well soon, and we'll see if he ever makes it back behind the Dj'ing-booth.
