He first gained nationwide fame in Sweden when he imitated Michael Jackson in the first season of Sikta mot stjärnorna, performing "Black or White" and winning his semi-final. His big break as a solo artist came when composing and performing the song "One in a Million" from the album One in a Million which became a Top 10 hit in Europe and Asia in 2000 and 2001, which also appeared in the movie Miss Congeniality. He wrote it to his then girlfriend Jessica Olérs, Miss Sweden 1998, and was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Two years later the successful follow-up Rockstar was released, and in June 2007 he released his fourth album Future's Gone Tomorrow / Life Is Here Today and in June 2013 he released his fifth album Best Of 11-Twelve. He served as an opening act for Britney Spears during her tour in 2000, and has toured with Kylie Minogue. He has also written songs for Amy Grant and the famous guitarist Al Di Meola.

Rockstar
by: BossonHe's a kid, with a dream
but he's different from the average teens
Upper class, respected family fancy house,
they've got the money
but his life is not as fun as it seems
Daddys boy, goes to school doing well
he's got the best grades too as a doctor,
or a lawyer professor,
or a teacher he has to make his parents dream come true
But he wants to be a Rockstar, oh oh
With long curly hair he is bangin' his head Rockstar, oh oh
The girls are getting wild they try to get him into bed
He's a Rockstar, oh oh
The crowd is getting crazy
They are screaming his name Rockstar,oh oh
Leaving the show with an MTV-host called Elaine
Every day, after school he found a way to earn a buck or two
When he'd saved, just every penny in a jar,that he was hiding
He went out and bought his first guitar
Brought it home,
Sneaked inside locked the door to his own room to hide picked it up,
It was a Gibson plugged it in, and turned the amp on
It was time to make his dream come alive
He's gonna be a Rockstar oh oh
Posing for his fans covered with chewinggum tatoos
Like a Rockstar oh oh
Always takes his limo to his giant swimming pool
Rockstar oh oh
Taking photos for the cover of
Billboad magazine A Rockstar oh oh
With a tightest black leatherpants
And the biggest mouth you've seen....
But when his daddy came home he took his guitar away,
Music is out of the question and it's starting from today
I don't care if you say you want to catch the moon
you're gonna get an education or you're be on your own
Well I don't want your money and
I don't need your advise I will sleep on the street and
I'll just roll the dize
Living day by day like the real rockers do,
Practise for my break, that is what I'm gonna do !
So give me my guitar back ...
I'm gonna be a Rockstar, oh oh
Strawberry champagne, I'm having breakfast in my bed
Rockstar, oh oh
I refuse to walk a carpet as long as it's not red
I'm a Rockstar I tried to land my jetplane down on
Sunset boulevard Rockstar oh oh
