Screenwriter Ludvig Lundström is an up-and-coming talent with an unusual amount of experience to his name. Despite his young age, Lundström has already worked with numerous Swedish production companies, developed his own original ideas, and worked as storyline and episodic writer. He is especially drawn to suspenseful and psychological dramas depicting moral taboos from the anti-hero’s perspective, with an element of dark humor.

Lundström started writing and creating his original ideas while still in law school. His work soon caught the eyes of production companies and he decided to pursue his true passion and become a full-time writer. In 2018-2019 Lundström studied screenwriting at the renowned Alma Löv Script Academy.

Lundström recently worked on the hit TV show Black Lake, and currently has several projects in-development, including a feature film together with director Mani Maserrat and a TV series for Meter and Viaplay.

The multi-talented Swedish producer and artist Kleerup is back. Today is the release date of his new album, _2_, which might well be his most “Kleerup” sounding album yet.

_2_ includes hitherto unreleased 10-year-old nuggets from the Kleerup archives as well as brand new material such as collaborations with artists like Yumi Zouma, Freddie Wadling and Ana Diaz. On _2_, Kleerup has also invited and worked with top producers Mr. Tophat (Robyn) and Joacim Persson (Lady Gaga, John Legend), polishing and further cultivating Kleerup’s ceaseless creativity.

12 years have passed since Kleerup’s self-titled debut album Kleerup saw the light of day. Its lead single With Every Heartbeat feat. Robyn catapulted him into the mainstream after reaching No. 1 on the UK singles charts, and has since become a modern classic.
