Andreas Kleerup, known professionally by his last name, is a Swedish record producer, drummer,[1] and member of the Swedish group The Meat Boys, from Stockholm, Sweden.[2] His first mainstream collaboration was as the producer of fellow Swedish artist Robyn's #1 UK single, "With Every Heartbeat", also included on Kleerup's self titled debut album.[3] He is currently in his own band called Me and my army which in 2011 released their debut album "Thank God for sending me demons"
He wrote and produced the song "Lay Me Down" with Cyndi Lauper for her 2008 album Bring Ya to the Brink. An instrumental version of the song appears on Kleerup's album under the title "Thank You for Nothing". The title was believed to be inspired by Kleerup's anger with Cyndi Lauper for not allowing her version to appear on his album, but this was later confirmed as a false rumor in an interview.[4] Turns out the song was originally made before he gave it to Cyndi Lauper, and he decided to use the original version on his album instead.
His song, "Until we Bleed" featuring Lykke Li, was featured in the British television show, Misfits.

Kleerup (album)
Kleerup is the eponymous debut album by Swedish recording artist and producer Kleerup, released in Sweden on 21 May 2008 by Virgin Records. Following the success of his collaboration with fellow Swede Robyn on 2007's "With Every Heartbeat", the album debuted and peaked at number seven on the Swedish Albums Chart. A revised edition of the album was released internationally in mid-2009.
"Thank You for Nothing" is an alternative, almost instrumental version of Cyndi Lauper's song "Lay Me Down", produced and co-written by Kleerup and included on Lauper's 2008 album Bring Ya to the Brink. "Until We Bleed" (which is not House) and "3AM" appeared, in altered forms, as B-sides to singles released by their vocalists (Lykke Li and Marit Bergman respectively).
The song "Chords" was sampled by electronic artist Dark Colour on his debut EP Memories track "I Can Feel You", which resulted in the release being pulled from retailers.

3 A.m. (feat. Marit Bergman)
by: Kleerup3 AM,
honey where´ve you been?
cell turned off I waited here
by the phone again
just like last night
Think I can
sort of understand
what your life´s like
all new friends
all the parties and
how you win them
3 AM, now it´s 3AM
Will not let my sadness show
how the tension grows
miss you so and
I pretend
I can feel your hands
and arms around me
trying to fall asleep again
sleep again it´s 3 AM
3 AM, soon the day will break
your voice so close
your lips are so far away
and our words they
fly around across the ocean and
disappearing somewhere over New Foundland
"Oh I love you"
3 AM, now it´s 3 AM
when will you be back again
and do you think we can
keep our love for ever more?
did we let it go?
Or Is it still beautiful?
Do we care at all?
Lost again at 3 AM
