Lars Mattias Winnerb�ck is a Swedish singer and songwriter. He was born in Stockholm but spent his childhood in Link�ping, where he attended Katedralskolan. He moved back to Stockholm in 1996, the same year he released his first album, Dans med sv�ra steg. He is now one of Sweden's most popular artists. The influence of songwriters like Carl Michael Bellman, Evert Taube, Bob Dylan, Ulf Lundell and Cornelis Vreeswijk shines through in Winnerb�ck's exclusively Swedish lyrics, which deal with shallowness, prejudice in society, as well as romance, relationships and anxiety. Several songs depict the difference between living in small town Link�ping and the capital Stockholm. His vinyl records were re-released in October 2011, many of them charting again on the Sverigetopplistan, the official Swedish Albums Chart. 

October 19th, 1975 in Stockholm (Age 49)
