About

Johnny Logan (born Seán Patrick Michael Sherrard, 13 May 1954 in Frankston, Australia) is an Irish singer and songwriter who won the Eurovision Song Contest twice as a performer - with "What's Another Year" in 1980 and "Hold Me Now" in 1987 - and a third time as the composer of Linda Martin's winning entry "Why Me?" in 1992. He remains the only artist to have both performed and written two separate Eurovision-winning songs, a record that earned him the nickname "Mr. Eurovision". Beyond the contest, he has built a lasting career across Ireland and Scandinavia, where his 2007 album The Irish Connection went platinum in Denmark and double platinum in Norway.
