Hundreds of millions of people around the world hear Johan Holmström's music every day. Johan composed music for Candy Crush Soda Saga, which folks downloaded some half-a-billion times to their phones and tablets.
Candy Crush Soda Saga is categorized as a "casual" game, making the music that much more impressive. Holmström had the opportunity to record the soundtrack using the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios — for a casual game!
