The spring of 2008 we were performing in the Swedish TV show "Talang 2008" which is the Swedish version of "America's Got Talent". We won a place in the semifinals. Here are the videos from the two acts:
BBx8 performs I Want You Back in Sweden's Got Talent 2008 ..
"Have ears for the music, a body for the dance and being a delight for the eye with an open-hearted mind"
BBx8 (B-B times eight) is an abbreviation for (the) Blad Ballet times Eight, but it has a lot of other meanings in Swedish. We are eight siblings and BB is a Swedish shortening of "maternity ward" and since our mother has been there eight times, it was her idea to have this name. The word "children" is called "barn" in Swedish so "the Blad Children times Eight" is another meaning of BBx8.
We don’t see on our selves as finished in our development, but under education and on the way. But we are able to give a lot already and can color the art and the life with our expression.
Our talents contain music and dance but we have also a poetic vein.
Of course we can perform solo both singing and dancing, but when we do it together it is like being hit by a sun-beam in the rising of the sun. We do it for you.
Ängla Temilia is 23 years old. She has been studied music on musical schools since she was ten years old (Adolf Fredriks musikklasser and Lilla Akademiens musikgymnasium, Stockholm). She studies music at Kulturama in Stockholm. She plays guitar and violin; since she was five. She is good at many things but singing is the thing for her.
Matteus is 21 years old. He is the holder of the Nicolai Gedda scholarship this year (2007). Matteus is studying Opera at the Musical University Collage in Arhus in Denmark. He has been studying clasical song the last five years at "Lilla Akademiens" high scool in Stockholm and "Vadstena Musikaliska Akademi". Before that he was in "Adolf Fredriks Musikklasser" for six years. Matteus plays cello. He also likes acting. He is excellent on reading aloud and very good on imitating. Charlie Chaplin is one of his favorites.
Zac is 18 years old. He is like a rainbow with many strong colors. He has been dancing since he was five, but already as an eight year old boy he was acting on professional stages in Stockholm. He plays guitar, but his main focus is on the dance as he do every day in school.
Levi is 16 years old and is also dancing ballet every day at school and has been participated in a lot of professional performances in Stockholm. He plays violin.
Rufus is 15 years old and he also goes to a ballet school. He has been working at the royal Opera and other theatres since he was ten. He has a lot of energy and loves to perform (of course you can apply this to all eight). He plays the piano and accordion.
Tehilla is 13 years old and dances ballet everyday. She has a strong blaze for dancing. She has been acting in a TV-series where she had a quite big role as the child of the leading character. She plays chello.
Alpha is 10 years old and is going on a musical school where she plays harp. She is also a host of a children’s program on Swedish Television.
Junior is 6 years old and loves to dance and sing with his big sisters and brothers…..
The list of each child is much longer since they all have a lot of experiences from commercials, short films, photographer's models, concerts and more.. but this is just a piece to taste.
BBx8 wants to work in a context where people don’t just see to their own prosperity and advantages. We want to support organisations that work for human rights and special supporting children all over the world to grow up in conditions that make it possible for them selves to take control over their situation. We see music as one of our possibilities to reach out our hands to help and encourage other peoples. One part of this is to participate in the WATF (We Are The Future) Project.

Det var ett tag sen vi hördes av, alldeles för länge sen! :-) Hur är läget, flyter allt på som det ska!? Vad gör ni nuförtiden, ska ni göra något kul nu i sommar!? Keep in touch!
Honest songwriting filled with powerful and thought provoking lyrics. Blues and Gypsy influenced Rock music with vintage feel, yet an original and innovative style and sound. -It's music you like.
Tänkte bara skicka en hälsning till Tehilla och säga att hon sjunger "Empty Room" riktigt bra. :D Roligt att göra henne sjunga själv. :) Ha de bäst! //Amanda
Happy Mother's Day!! Couldn't post comment on Nina's page, so i thought the flower for Nina can be posted here instead for your special mum day and for the special family.
