I was born in Uppsala, and grew up in Varmland(middle of Sweden) living close to the nature with forests and a lakes as my great inspiration. I was an early singer, painter and writer of poems, played theater and started my career as a Cellist, performing solo and in various orchestras. After highscool I continued as a performing Jazzsinger. I felt a big eagerness to express myself in all kind of creative ways. But there was also a quiet, lonely and shy part of my personality and after a long bad period in my early twenties I started to write songs. Songwriting became my only lifesavior and ever since, I've been writing more than 600 songs in English & Swedish and Finally2006, my first album was released and I'm very happy about it :)
My songs are inspired by the art of living, people, broken dreams & lonely hearts and going through all kind of changes.
I've always recorded my songs first at home and love to arrange ideas and develop myself both as a singer-songwriter and as a producer.
I've performed live on various stages with a guitar or with band.
I have also been co-writing and participated on other artists album.
I released my first EP in June, 2006 and my album was due to 12th of October, 2006....:))During 2006 I've been performing & touring around Sweden, Denmark, & Germany and my Album got a lot of good reviews and the singles "All this time" & "Honestly" has been frequently airplayed at Stockholm radio riks P4. 2007 the third single"Reckless Heart" was out on the radio out on the radio. Spring and early summer, I was Performing in Sweden ,Denmark at the Spot-festival and England I was supporting Iain Archer(Snowpatrol) and Jacob Golden(US). Now I'm working on Songs for my next album! and going on a small tour to England around Christmas.

Äntligen, jag har ju väntat på dej!! Trodde nääästan att du dissat mej men det är ju inte riktigt din stil! Har du vart iväg? Lunch pronto!!! Kram Stig-Helmer
