Peter LeMarc

His middle name, Lenn-Marc (also spelled Lenmarc) was a compromise; his mother wanted his name to be Marcus, while his father prompted on the name Lennart.

[3] At a young age, LeMarc discovered music through The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and other bands of the 1960s and 70s.

His father died of cancer in 1977, something LeMarc often returns to in his songs, such as "Jag ska gå hel ur det här", "Närmare gränsen" and "Drivved".

In August LeMarc released his fifth album, which would become his huge breakthrough, selling gold (50,000 copies) and earned him his first Swedish Grammy Award.

[2] In August 1991, Sången dom spelar när filmen är slut was released to wide acclaim.

[4] In March 1995, Bok med blanka sidor was released, featuring prominent songs such as "Tess" and "Fyra steg i det blå".

In addition to a prolific solo career, he has also written a number of songs for a variety of popular artists including Anna-Lotta Larsson, Jerry Williams, Totta Näslund, Christina Lindberg, Sven-Ingvars and has as well produced the Eldkvarn album Limbo.
