ULRIK MUNTHER APPRECIATION POST

Hej :)
How are you guys?
The other day I was watching the Melodifestivalen and I wanted Ulrik Munther to win LOL (seems like he didn't D: ). Anyway, today's post is about him.
Ulrik started to play early in different rock bands around Kungsbacka just outside Swedish town Göteborg. After starting out playing covers of songs from bands like Kent and Guns’N'Roses, he started writing his own songs. When he was a 15 he won the Melody Grand Prix Nordic with his own song ”An ordinary day”. The year after he was second in Metro Music Challenge with his own composition ”Life”. The producer Johan Åberg heard Ulrik’s songs, saw the potential and started a musical cooperation. At his childhood home outside Göteborg Ulrik has been songs on the weekdays and on weekends travelling to Stockholm after school.
  After the song Boys don’t cry was leaked on the Internet no less than twenty American and English record companies reached for the phone. Within four weeks Ulrik was flown to Los Angeles, New York, London and other European cities.
 In September 2010 he signed with Universal Music in Sweden. On the 24th of September 2011 he released his debut album that went straight to no 1 on the Swedish album charts. Parts of the album were recorded in Stockholm, but a large portion of the production and recording were done in Ulrik’s own home. ( http://ulrikmunther.com/about/ )

I hope you like it :)
And, since we're talking about ~Swedish~ music, I started learning Swedish again in another website, if someone is interested. I know I'll have to stop it again because of school, but the teachers said that we need fun, and I think it IS fun. u-u
That's it :P
Hej då
