Welcome to my website.
My name is André Åhl.
Can’t forget the look om her face, my first music teacher, when at 6 years old I playing für Elise when she entered late in a room of chaos except of the piano. But then I felt I didn’t evolve in piano for several years until at 16 years old learning chords, music theory and was pushed to improvise more. However at 10 I started to learn how to write and record my own songs, with a casio-synth and two tape recorders. Thankfully, technology has changed nowadays.
My music
In 2011 I was done with my first own demo album; “Somehow” (Spotify-link), containing 13 tracks with a lot of influences from my childhood. Seems ages ago now.
In 2014-15 my focus changed into making more modern music than before, both english and swedish. My aim is to keep it more simple, try new genres and always be in progress to develop myself, both with my sound, vocals and my songwriting.
I will never be done.
In 2008, I met David Isaksson, a very important person to me, at a concert where we both played as stand-ins with the rockband ‘Black Note Club’ during Valborg in Uppsala. It was a special gig in many ways. First of all there was a big crowd in front of us (50 000 people I’ve heard, even though most of them where inactive listeners). Now he’s one of my best friends and he often helps me out recording new songs, playing bass on many. Of course he plays with others as well, for example hip hop records with Ison & Fille, Organismen 12 and Dj Large. Later on, David and I started a band named “Davian” where my father, Per-Åke Persson, plays the drums and Jacob Ansved the guitar. My father has been playing drums his hole life with different groups (for example Soul Pack) and Jacob is a talented guitarist making own wonderful songs and play for others as well, for example ‘Ace of Base’ with the latest album The Golden ratio 2011.
For 8 years I led a gospel choir together with talentef singer/musical Artist/ Johanna Halvardsson. The choir experience really pushed the development in both piano and vocals.
2023 I focus on making my swedish pop album ready for release, even if I probably will drop one track at a time as singles, ”Timglas” first in line.
