Jens Lekman is a Swedish musician and songwriter, known for combining witty, deeply personal lyrics with a blend of pop, indie, and orchestral sounds. Born on February 6, 1981, in Angered, Sweden, Jens has carved out a unique niche in the indie music scene since his emergence in the early 2000s. He initially attracted attention with a series of self-released CDs that led to a record deal and his debut album, "When I Said I Wanted to Be Your Dog," in 2004.

Over the years, Lekman's discography has grown to include several critically acclaimed albums. His narrative style, often infused with a charming mixture of humor and melancholy, has resonated with audiences around the world. Notable albums such as "Night Falls Over Kortedala" (2007) and "I Know What Love Isn't" (2012) showcase his talent for crafting catchy, heartfelt tunes that delve into love, life's idiosyncrasies, and the complexities of human connection. Lekman continues to experiment and evolve as evidenced by his collaborations and interactive projects like "CORRESPONDENCE," a conceptual email exchange that culminated in a musical conversation with fellow musician Annika Norlin. With his most recent work, "The Linden Trees Are Still In Blossom" and "The Cherry Trees Are Still In Blossom," Lekman continues to offer a fresh, poetic take on storytelling through music, ensuring his place as one of Sweden's most endearing musical exports.
