Tomas Ledin (born February 25, 1952 in Rätan , Jämtland County ) is a Swedish singer , composer , songwriter , guitarist and music producer .

Career

Ledin grew up in Sandviken, Sweden . He started his singing career in the 1970s and had some success in the Swedish and Scandinavian charts. In 1979 he switched to the Swedish record company Polar Music , for which, in addition to his singing activities, he also worked as a composer and producer. Here he sang the duet Never Again together with the former ABBA singer Agnetha Fältskog in 1982 . The song reached number two on the Swedish singles chart. The title was also a success in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium.

Before that, Ledin was also the background singer at the concerts of the last ABBA tour in 1979/80 through Europe, North America and Japan. In 1980 he performed for Sweden at the Eurovisie Song Festival in the Netherlands with the title Just nu! and ended up in 10th place in the ranking. The song was his biggest hit and only number one hit in Sweden. In total, Ledin had almost a dozen top 10 hits in Sweden between 1977 and 2006.

In 1982 he wrote the song I Got Something for Anni-Frid Lyngstad's first English-language album Something's Going On . Only a year later he also took part in Agnetha Fältskog's first international solo album Wrap Your Arms Around Me with the composition Take Good Care of Your Children .

He has been married to Marie Anderson , daughter of Stig Anderson , since May 22, 1983 .
