His new album “Perfectly damaged”, includes three songs that were possible options for him at this years’ national final. One song is sung alongside fellow singer Tilde Vinther, it was written in South Africa and transmits a magic that is included throughout the album, an album that has taken months to compile.

He considers one of his best moments when Sweden surpassed Russia in the voting and the entire stadium began shouting for Sweden. It was a fantastic experience. He also has good words for Conchita Würst, whom he originally met in London at the Eurovision 60th Anniversary show with their last meeting being in a taxi after the Eurovision final.
