Biography
Calle Kindbom Calle Kindbom is Sweden’s best-established songwriter in his genre. He has written for artists like Barbados, Friends, Charlotte Nilsson and Kikki Danielsson. Kindbom had two songs in last year’s Swedish Eurovision finals, but he’s never won before. When he’s not songwriting, Kindbom works with artists and repertoire at the Mariann record company, so music is truly a full-time job for him.
Carl LösnitzCarl Lösnitz is a teacher, but spends most of his free time writing songs – often in partnership with his friend Calle Kindbom. With a whopping 18 songs that have hit the Swedish charts, Lösnitz’ speciality is ballads. He has also released an album of his own and has written and published two novels and a book of poetry. Kindbom and Lösnitz say they write their best songs on a lake on a lovely summer day.
FameFame consists of Jessica Andersson, 29, and Magnus Bäcklund, 36. Music has been a large part of their adult lives, but six months ago they were completely unknown in Sweden. They found each other at the televised arts school and contest “Fame Factory”, which aired in autumn 2002. Bäcklund was the big winner, while Andersson dropped out to give birth to her son Liam. Bäcklund also has little ones at home, twin daughters.
When not singing, Andersson is a former photo model and Bäcklund is a commercial pilot. They share Stevie Wonder as a role model. Fame won the favour of the Swedish public and the jury with “Give Me Your Love” in a landslide victory in Stockholm’s Globe arena.
