Pugh Rogefeldt, born Anders Sture Torbjörn Rogefeldt on March 2, 1947 in Västerås, Sweden, is a distinguished Swedish musician and singer-songwriter who has been a notable figure in the Scandinavian music scene since the late 1960s. Rogefeldt made waves within the industry for crafting music that featured Swedish lyrics, combined with rock and blues influences – a novel concept at the time, as English was the dominant language for rock music. His debut album, "Ja, dä ä dä!" released in 1969, is often considered a groundbreaking work that paved the way for the acceptance of Swedish-language rock.

Throughout his career, Rogefeldt has consistently exhibited innovation in his music while maintaining a style characterized by catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics. With a discography that blends rock, folk, and blues, he has become acclaimed for his unique voice and dynamic performances. Over the years, Pugh has released many albums, with some of his more recent works including "Guds finger" and "Fasta klippa." He has also demonstrated remarkable longevity in the music industry, highlighted in retrospective albums such as "Dä va' då dä' - Pugh Rogefeldts bästa 1969-2012,” which celebrates some of his greatest hits across four decades. His contributions to compilation and live albums like "Så mycket bättre - Tolkningarna" and "Opluggad Pugh 1," as well as his exploration of rarities in "Guldgruvan - Kuriosa 1968-2002," showcase the breadth of his talent and his willingness to experiment and evolve as an artist.
