Schizophrenic, several dimensions of music. I am very open to try new things. And always go with the flow!
You are one of the 32 participants of Melodifestivalen 2014, how did it all begin?
I met the great Anderz Wrethov. The energy between us was so strong and the melody and the lyrics just came like a Monsoon rain over us, that was the first time we ever met each other, and day 2, the song was done. We sent it in, and a few months later we were in. I believe in great energy. I believe in Now.
"Aleo" is the title of your song and its written by You and Anderz Wrethov! How was it to work with him?
Anderz is very very talented, he is very colorful and easy to work with. We laughed from the moment we met, and we still laugh, haha!
What can you tell me about the song? whats the story behind it?
Aleo is a word that we made up. The word means: One, Together, We, Us, Strong, Powerful, force, human, Love.
I can give you a picture of ALEO, imagine a tree, were the branches are people and they meet in the body of the tree, were the stem stands for: Together, strong, we, us, power, force, one, Love.
The song is about that together we can make a change. And also that loneliness is not a choice, together we are STRONGER!
"One tree is rarely without branches,
the forest is rarely with only one tree.
There is only Love
There is only Aleo."
Describe the song with 4 words:
A L E O

I loved the way CEZAR sang "It´s my life" but my favorite was Margaret Berger, And "Marry Me" Was energetic, my Friends wrote that song! And of course "Only Teardrops"
What do you like about Eurovision?
I love that the whole Europe is united and that we can together have a big party together, and i imagine that we all can learn different things about each other. I love when Different cultures meet!
