Hakan Hellstrom
By Charlotte Stace
Swedish musician Håkan Hellström comes to perform live at Razzmatazz. Since making his breakthrough in 2000 with the song "Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg" and a debut album with the same name, Hellström has gone on to record and release nine studio albums to date. Of those, eight have reached the number one spot in the Swedish Albums Chart.
Amazingly, he has managed to gain quite the following overseas despite singing mainly in Swedish. He began his career playing the drums for the indie pop group Broder Daniel in the early 1990s. He then had a stint with rock band Honey Is Cool. In 1997, he rejoined Broder Daniel to play the bass until 2003 when he left to focus completely on his solo career.
Several years, and albums, later, he now embarks on a new European tour to promote his latest album, Poetiska Försök (2023). Get your tickets now.
