Björn Rosenström (born August 8, 1970 in Gothenburg , Sweden ) is a Swedish singer-songwriter who previously appeared as a trobador . He is accompanied by Det Jävla Bandet ("The Devilish Band") at concerts and his last records .

Apart from being an artist, Björn Rosenström is also a lawyer . He studied law from 1991 to 1996 and has been at the Graduate School filed in Gothenburg a jur.kand. exam. During this time he performed in the college pub and quickly became known for his ironic and humorous point of view, which he presented with his guitar at numerous festivals.

After Rosenström finished his studies in 1996, he and his brother Jonas recorded the record “Låtar som är sådär” in the studio. The work on the recording took just a day and a half. 1000 copies were made of the record, which Rosenström sold in his old university pub and in bookshops.

The Swedish record company Border Music from Gothenburg began selling the CD in Sweden's record stores in late 1997. After half a year it was available in almost all boutiques. Within a year, the record sold 110,000 times, making it 6th in the Swedish sales charts.

In the following year, Rosenström worked both as a musician and a lawyer - among other things, he was employed for two years as a notary (roughly equivalent to a legal trainee at the court) at the district court in Mariestad , but gradually he decided to only focus on music.
