Born in 1992, Johannes Skoog began playing the organ at the age of 8 after having studied piano since the age of 5. Native of Stockholm, he is a graduate from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (Kungliga Musikhögskolan) where he studied organ interpretation with Mathias Kjellgren and improvisation with Nils Larsson. Johannes continued his studies at the Paris Conservatory (Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris) in the organ class of Olivier Latry and Michel Bouvard.

He also studied organ interpretation with Louis Robilliard and organ improvisation with Laszlo Fassang and Thierry Escaich. In the summer of 2017, he became the only student ever to receive the highest grade in organ interpretation (mention très bien à l’unanimité avec félicitations du jury), both years of the master’s program at the Paris Conservatory.
