Katrina Johansson is an American shred guitarist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] Her debut EP, Guitarsongs Volume 1 was well received by critics[2][3] and was notable for featuring fellow shred guitarist Michael Angelo Batio on bass guitar. In 2007, a second EP was released entitled Love, Surrender, Forgiveness, which was released independently and featured three new tracks, as well as a remix of a "K-9 Lullaby".

Johansson cites guitarists such as Gary Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore and Joe Satriani as influences, and Opeth, Van Halen and Soundgarden as her favourite bands.[4] Other personal interests she identifies include kickboxing, rollerblading and mountain biking.
