About this person

Jonas Erik Altberg grew up in Halmstad singing in his mother's choir, started making music at 17, and by 2006 had self-released "Boten Anna" as a free download from Malmö. The track caught fire, leading to a deal with Extensive Music and Warner Music Sweden. His 2007 single "Now You're Gone" - featuring Bazzheadz and built on the melody of "Boten Anna" with new lyrics - became a crossover hit. He released five studio albums between 2004 and 2013, wrote for other artists, and logged over 3 million records sold by 2009 according to Svenska Dagbladet. By May 2024 he had racked up more than 803 million Spotify streams, landing him as the 60th most-streamed Swedish artist on the platform.
