Celebrate St Stephen’s night with Basshunter

Keep the Christmas spirit up this year on St Stephen’s night with one big party in the Royal Theatre. Basshunter aka Jonas Altberg was born 1984 in Halmstad, Sweden. He lives with his parents and younger brother five minutes from Sweden’s best beach, Tylösand. He can briefly be described as a stubborn and creative person. He started to produce music in 1999 with a little help from the computer programme Fruityloops. His interest of music became bigger and bigger. After a lot of demos spread over the internet, he started to get some phone calls from clubs that wanted to have him as a DJ. In April 2006 he got his first real contact to the music industry when he signed a record deal with Warner Music. He released his first single ‘Boten Anna’ in Scandinavia and it became a hit instantly. It all went very fast, much faster than Basshunter himself ever could expect. Right now Basshunter has just finished his debut album LOL and it is available in a store close to you.
