Comparisons with Paul SImon, Nick Drake, Joe Strummer and Antonio Carlos Jobim show the eclectic "intimate world music" style of Swedish singer/songwriter Johan Christher Schutz. "Beautiful Place" is his 5th album since 2004, and his music has received radio rotation in Japan, Canada, Germany and Brazil, to name a few countries. In October 2011 one of his songs, "Slow Down" was the most played foreign song on Japanese radio. In several reviews, such as Amazon Japan, Schutz has been dubbed "genius singer/songwriter".
