About
Fredrik began as a 6-year-old with the trumpet and wrote his first song on the piano at the age of 9.
After high school, he toured with his band for a number of years, but he then chose to devote himself entirely to production and songwriting. One of the first songs made was the hit song Who’s Da Man which was number one in Sweden for 21 weeks!
In the summer of 2015, Badpojken’s ”Johnny G” topped the Swedish charts for 10 weeks.
In 2016, he won the Swedish Melody Festival as producer and writer with ”If I Were Sorry”. Today the song has over 100 million streams and the Spotify record in Sweden for the most streams in one day. In 2017 ”If I Were Sorry” was awarded as the song of the year with a Grammis. In addition to many weeks at the top of the charts in Sweden, it also entered the Top 50 Spotify Global, was number one in the world on iTunes and No. 1 AirPlay on German radio. There have been another 30 or so gold records in various genres that adorn the studio walls and more are on the way.

”I feel most creative when I am close to nature; it is incredibly important to me.
Growing up in a small town where everyone knows each other has never been limiting for me, but has given me strength. In my small world, I have the conditions I need to reach out into the big world. The feeling of seeing people sing and dance to one’s songs is unbeatable. When I write or produce, I always want to find the straightest path to the heart. I try to spice it up with a few clear flavours, where the voice and the story must be in focus.”
