Yohanna "Is It True" from Iceland- Making waves with her new album



Yohanna recorded her first album at the age of nine, which was released only in 2000. This debut album was a huge success and was followed up by a second album in 2001, confirming her as Iceland's child prodigy.

Yohanna�s teenage years were spent working in and out of the studio with musical instructors, songwriters and producers. After turning down a recording contract with a major label, Yohanna spent some time in Denmark working on her vocal techniques. During this time she also recorded her first adult album �Butterflies and Elvis� with British songwriter Lee Horrocks and sound engineer Thomas Yezzi. This album has now been re-vamped and released internationally with critical acclaim all over Scandinavia. + this fantastic video for her popular Hit "Is It True?"

In 2008 songwriter �skar P�ll Sveinsson asked Yohanna to sing �Is It True?� for the 2009 Iceland's Eurovision Pre-selection Contest. It famously won 2nd place in Moscow, Eurovision 2009. Giving Alexander Rybak a good run for the top position.
