Fredrik Kempe, born in Vårgårda in 1972, is a Swedish songwriter and opera and pop singer. He has participated in Swedish versions of the musicals Les Misérables and Chess. In 2002, Kempe had a hit with Vincero, where he mixed opera and disco. In Melodifestivalen 2004, he performed his own song Finally, a tribute to his favourite composer Benny Andersson. One year later, he performed in the contest again, together with Sanna Nielsen, singing Du och jag mot världen. In Melodifestivalen 2007, he wrote three songs, all performed by other artists. .

While working as a songwriter, guitarist and vocalist in Kråkesølv, Fredrik William Olsen has also written a handful of songs on his own. Some of these now appear on his debut album, Hver gang æ grev, released in 2012 on the record label Beyond Records. With acoustic guitar and bare-boned lyrics as the foundation, the listener is introduced to a much more stripped down sound than we are used to hearing from Olsen. .

1. Fredrik, a songwriter/sound mangler/concept artist three-piece from southern part of Sweden, embodies some of the most iconic Scandinavian experimental pop aesthetics: captivating melodies, rich layered arrangements and complicated charming instrumentation somewhat in the vein of Sigur Ros and Efterklang, but essentially in the language of trees. Without overloading the compositions, Fredrik builds layer upon layer of atmospheric, melodically overpowering and somewhat mystical soundscapes. 2. Fredrik from Klokkarstua, Norway is a talent in the third season of The Voice of Germany in 2013. .
