I'm a Swedish singer, musician, composer and producer. I've released three albums, and work on my fourth.....
C'EST LA VIE
"C'EST LA VIE" is my third album. I'm joined by some of Sweden's best musicians, such as Olle Linder (drums, bass, percussion), Roman Andrén (piano, organs), Karin Hammar (trombone), Stefan Persson (trumpet) and with backing vocals by Helena Soluna and Katarina Nilsson. Released in December 2008 in Japan, and in April 2009 worldwide.
There are two versions available:
"C'est La Vie - 11 sånger på svenska" for the Scandinavian market, all in Swedish. "C'est La Vie" for the World market, with 5 songs in English.
Watch the NEW live video on the left, recorded in november 2008, of the title song from my first CD "PASSION" (2004), with me (vocals & guitar), Adam Forkelid (piano), Juan Patricio Mendoza (bass) and Ola Bothzén (percussion). Filmed in november 2008 in Stockholm.
Aline de Lima, the Brazilian singer, recorded my song SOM OM INGENTING HAR HÄNT for her 2nd album "AÇAÍ" - » Get from iTunes
BLISSA NOVA
On my second CD "BLISSA NOVA" (2007) I sang a duet with Aline de Lima (This Sadness/Tristeza) and collaborated with the following musicians - Peter Asplund (trumpet & flugelhorn), Karin Hammar (trombone), Sebastian Notini (percussion & drums) and Henrik Sundqvist (fender rhodes & piano). The sound was more clubby and danceable, and I recorded 5 translations (Bonfá/Toledo, Gilberto Gil, Powell/de Moraes, Ramel, Edwall) and 8 of my own songs.
Reviews of BLISSA NOVA:
"An inspiring intoxication" Lira (www.lira.se)
"Almost immaculate"
"This could well have challenged the title of the best swedish album of the year in the genre" Groove (www.groove.se)
"A warm puff of oxygen" - (4/5) Corren/ÖC (www.corren.se)
"Schütz takes brazil-jazz in a personal direction" DagensSkiva.com
PASSION
My first CD "PASSION" was released in 2004 and was very well received by the Swedish press. It has a very organic bossa nova sound with a real string section, and the accordion and vibes helped create the warm sound.
The original edition is SOLD OUT!!! A new release with 2 bonus tracks (previously only available in Japan) will be released this year.
Reviews of PASSION:
"Romantic bossa nova"
"Fine examples of a trend that seems to be growing" DN [Daily News]
"Performed with a curiosity and perfection"
"The innovative instrumentation is impressing" Lira (www.lira.se)
"closely entangled with the samba rhythms" Corren/ÖC (www.corren.se)
"an idiom which certainly is mastered" Groove (www.groove.se)
