░ █ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ █
█ Andreas Aleman, who happens to have one of the █
█ most unique voices to ever come out of Sweden, █
█ has just completed his debut album, THIS IS LIFE. █
█ The 33-year old vocalist/keyboardist has █
█ previously worked as an accompanist for SwedenÆs █
█ top gospel choirs and solo artists. As a █
█ songwriter, he has had songs recorded by artists █
█ throughout the world including Italian superstar, █
█ Laura Pausini. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ The album combines traditional soul/R&B/gospel █
█ and funk elements, which pays homage to his █
█ influences, Ray Charles, Michael McDonald and █
█ others, while maintaining his own contemporary █
█ sound. In addition to his exciting voice and █
█ songwriting skills (he wrote 12 of the 13 songs █
█ featured on the album), Andreas is a talented █
█ keyboardist and arranger. All keyboard work, █
█ vocal and instrumental arrangements were done by █
█ Andreas and THIS IS LIFE features some of the █
█ best and funkiest studio musicians in Sweden. The █
█ album was mastered in LA by top mastering █
█ engineer, Ron Boustead. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ What people are saying about THIS IS LIFE: █
█ █
█ ôYeah, Andreas is the new Swedish Funky Boy! I do █
█ dig his brand new album! ôThis is lifeö has all █
█ the grooves, the moods and modes it takes to █
█ reach out to a lot of people, young and oldö- █
█ Nils Landgren- trombonist, vocalist and █
█ funkmeister █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ ôAndreas is the best thing that's happened to the █
█ soul/pop/funk scene in this part of the world in █
█ a very long time! His intense and at the same █
█ time warm and laid-back voice is indeed something █
█ 'extra-ordinaire'. And in this musical █
█ environment it's nothing less than a sensation! █
█ It makes me smile and move my skinny ass!ö- Bj÷rn █
█ Skifs- Swedish recording artist █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ ôHere's living proof that Swedish artists are █
█ still able to create first class westcoast pop. █
█ Andreas places himself among artists like Bill █
█ Champlin, Kenny Loggins, Bill Cantos and Bobby █
█ Caldwell. This is a CD with a lot of variety; █
█ there's even a hint of Earth Wind & Fire and █
█ Tower Of Power in some songs.ö- Ola GrΣnshagen- █
█ melodic.net/Sweden, Rock Magazine █
█ █

█ █
█ BIOGRAPHY █
█ █
█ ANDREAS was born and raised in S÷dertΣlje █
█ (Sweden). He began his musical career at the age █
█ of 3 when he started playing accordion and piano. █
█ Not long after that he began writing his own █
█ music. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ He found his musical style early on, largely █
█ thanks to his parentsÆ record collection, which █
█ included everything from soul, funk, blues, rock, █
█ gospel and country. He listened, studied, and █
█ learned these different genres and taught himself █
█ how to play in all these styles. This formed the █
█ basis of his musical direction. While still in █
█ school, he played with various bands, which was █
█ where he began to utilize and develop his unique █
█ singing voice. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ When he was 16 he started getting musician and █
█ vocal gigs in Stockholm and since then has played █
█ in many different ensembles, bands and other █
█ music-related connections. He started focusing on █
█ songwriting after meeting songwriter/producer █
█ BRIAN HOBBS at EIDOLON PRODUCTIONS. They started █
█ collaborating and this collaboration has resulted █
█ in many songs in various styles and genres, as █
█ well as co-productions and a good friendship. In █
█ 2002 Andreas was awarded a grant from the Swedish █
█ Performing Rights Association, STIM (Svenska █
█ TonsΣttares Internationella Musikbyrσ). █
█ Currently, he is working full-time with music and █
█ runs his own company, ANDREAS ALEMAN MUSIC. THIS █
█ IS LIFE is his debut solo album. █
